I think for a extra $50.00 you can get the centrifugal clutch with your kit. Livefast Motors: Bike Motors - Motors |

| | Re: Pull Start / Centrifical Clutch ??? Livefast also sells the pull start kit for $25.00 including shipping. If you want to keep your pedals you will have to bend the pedal crank for clearance. YES they work and will save you miles of pedaling with a motor that's hard to start. Pull start kit/Livefast = smile. Happy Trails Walter F. |

| | Re: Pull Start / Centrifical Clutch ??? I purchased the pull start kit from boygofast on ebay. It's not the right one. I kept it though just in case I get an engine that it will fit on. One more thing for the parts box.
If you do decide to bend your cranks, make sure your pedals stay true to the angle of your bend. Your pedals are at 90 deg to your crank. Bending the crank will make your pedal lopsided when you decide to use it. I would just purchase wider cranks...but that's just me.

| | Re: Pull Start / Centrifical Clutch ??? If you don't mind doin it the old way, just put a rope pulley on the flywheel side and loop the rope around the handlebar to carry. Just be careful not to whip it into your eye when starting. THE HANDLE IS GREAT FOR DOGS TOO.
