you need to reconnect that compression relief arm to the flywheel, or it will take a REAL man to rope start that thing, in case of a dead battery. i love those motors.
i was wondering what that was for!! thanks tash. seems to me your the guy to talk to about these motors. so i will keep that in mind and thnx for all the advice youve posted in all my threads!!!by rope start your not talking about putting it around the flywheel and pulling? it has a manual pull cord the feeds into flywheel in front
