Pull start?

[Potato_In_Exhaust]

If you got a BT, just hit the starter button. If you have a cent clutch engine, non BT, then it depends on the kit you bought. Some are sprag ( one way) some are free both ways.

I'm talking about just your regular ol' non-starter non-centrifugal clutch motor...... but with an added pull-start. Can you still pedal start if the rope happen to snap? I don't want to have to put all of my trust in a China shoe-string, specially if I'm out in the middle of nowhere.

Oh yeah, you can still bump start.

Is it possible to add an electric start to a regular motor?

How much engineering can you handle? Anything can be done if you have the time and the need.

It's there to see, You see it in your dreams of what it can be.

There is no bolt on starter kit for a CG engine The only thing that is offered is a drill motor adapter

Usually those pull starts break after the first pull and you end up pedaling anyway.

Not to mention all the money and time you wasted on widening the pedal arms to clear it or raising the motor , etc . Just pedal like most of us.

There used to be a kit that was like 600 bucks that had a starter, that was a gem when the engine was running. It would power all the lights etc. It came off the clutch side gears. It changed out the drive gear to a different one with a double gear, had a sprocket for the starter that came off it. I haven't seen them in 3 or 4 years though.
