Just finished installing a dual start HT engine on a bike...The engine starts and runs fine as long as you pedal start it...The recoil starter is almost impossible to pull. I assume because of high compression and the small diameter of the recoil starter unit. I thought of trying to drill and tap the head for a compression release valve.....Or should I just live with the situation? I use to wonder why these starters were not more popluar....now I see why. Always expect the Unexpected.
 
I've never had an issue with pull starting, one or two good firm yanks on the cord and she starts right up.
