I've been complementing on a pull start for a Chinese HT. I have noticed a few with varying prices. Other then cost, what have you found to be satisfactory, if any. I'm sure that the pull chord is junk and changing out won't be a factor.
I can't see any problem as the covers (looks like they use the same case) look the same, but as far as finding one that is worth it is another thing.I was thinking the same thing. And was wondering if I can make my 66cc Jet engine into a pull start? Thanks
I have bought from Rose before. As far as MY dealings with her, my experience was good. In fact I bought my last BLACK engine from her, and had no problem. Bad thing about feedback, you need to look at it carefully. Some buyers try to pull the wool over a sellers eyes, I read one about the seller didn't honor FREE SHIPPING, well they have Free SHIPPING in the 48...he was from HI. Didn't read and left a NEGATIVE. I know that some are the fault of the seller. Over all 99.1Yeh,
I was thinking about installing one and getting Big Blue back on the road.
I would say all metal and replace the cord.
Ron, I don't know the Ebay seller you linked to, but they've gotten a lot of negative feedbacks in the past year. Some issues with repainted China Girls.

That's the heavy duty one! I've only had it in use for about a year, but so far I haven't had any problems with it.What do you think about this one. Seems that the rope holder is cast aluminum and not plastic.

If you get a chance would you please measure the thickness for me, from the case outboard? Want to see if I have clearance or have to bend the peddle cranks, and how much. ThanksThat's the heavy duty one! I've only had it in use for about a year, but so far I haven't had any problems with it.
Ohhh, it must stick out about 1 1/2" to 2". If I can get into the shed (where my bike is) I'll measure it. At the same time I did have to bend my cranks out to compensate.If you get a chance would you please measure the thickness for me, from the case outboard?

I have had the same problem with a member on the forum (1 out of 100's). Now that is why I'm not responsible once I mail the item, if you don't pay for conformation ($1.00) or insurance ($2.00). Oh and I sent him a replacement, at no cost. I have all receipts from the USPO and they have the Zip code the item was sent to.Hey Ron,
thanks for the honest opinion on the Ebay seller. I know what you mean by trying to pull wool over the sellers eyes. I had a 1st time buyer try to tell me she never received the shipment, but the shipment was tracked and she signed for it - Doh

Exactly what I need...Thank you for taking the time to measure it.I measured that today and from the engine case, it sticks out 2 inches so it'll be like adding an inch and a half to the existing cover plate.
Hope this helps.
