I have been wanting to get around to this project for a while. My 5-speed cannot be bump started due to the design(my design). You can peddal start it (in an emergency) but not easy when the engine is cold.
So this bike is pretty much dependent on the pull starter. We all are aware that the HT pullstarters are weak. So the first part of the project was to make the pull start more dependable.
This was done by making a steel pawl, steel post and backer plate for the post. The post is also a weakness on the HT heavy duty pull start that is being marketed.
The reason for upgrading the pullstart is that this kickstart operates it.
