anyone ever installed pull start?

Just wondering if a pull start added is a good idea? Whats the process? Do I need a wider crank? Is it hard to install? Is it good quality? ect.....

I haven't gotten one myself yet - but I've looked into it a bunch and near as I can tell the install is as easy as swappin' the cover plate... which is basically all yer doin' lol. There might be some hinkyness with needing a special nut for the clutch wheel - but even then it would be a simple matter.

Clearance IS an issue depending on the height of your install, I've not checked into that as mine will clear NP (sorry no #s) but I've heard... stuff about the "durability" - namely that ya need be somewhat gentle with the thing and not let the recoil just "BANG" back.

But - for $20, who cares? lol I'm being a slacker and jus' waitin' till the snow heh

Glad ya posted this tho - I'm lookin' forward to other ppl's opinions too

I have installed several.
1. Removed the magneto washers and used loctite.
2. installed star washer on shaft for spacer.
3. Loctite on shsft nut.

Be careful not to start with clutch engaged, plastic pawl is flimsy. Put a pin through the pull handle knot. Pull cord wears out.

PS I buy them three at a time so if one breaks down I'm not out of buissness!
