Don't waste your money on the pull start, the old rope and new metal wire pull starts all fail after several uses. The centrifugal clutch, on the other hand, is very reliable and worth every penny.

I fully agree with your opinion about the centrifugal clutch.
All my builds have a centrifugal clutch installed on them.

Pirate Cycles has c. clutch for $30.00, and $5.00 shipping and handling. It will come from bgf for some reason, but you'll save 10 or 12 bucks, I just did this last week. brnot

how do you start a centrifugal clutch motor without a pullstart?
The centrifugal clutch has a built in sprag (one way bearing) that allows you to start the engine the way you normally do by pedaling and dropping the clutch.
