Dooooooood, this is RDP, nobody here has a genny with pull start. Everyone has minimum 20k fully automatic backup power

How exactly would that work? wouldn't you have to drill and tap the head to get a compression release into it?

Yeah I'm thinking so ??

Run these on my wife's chopper. Big cubic inch motor. You can find cheaper versions on the web, and yes you drill and tap the head.

Tom I went through this a few years ago with my wife. PGE up here...like a 3rd world country, power was out 16 times in 2022.
I gave up on the rope start with her, we bought a Honda EU6500, used a Honda powersports card, 90 days same as cash.
I know they are big bucks now, but the thing is awesome, quiet, and sips gas.
Might be worth the $ for you guys. Electric start pull start backup.

Remember the old Yamaha's with the Dual Plug Heads and the Comp release Kit...... Sounded so Cool!

I just told her to start working more on those "guns" she's developed and got her some starter fluid (seriously thanks for the info)

A few of my older dirt bikes had a simple lever that slightly lifted an exhaust valve off it's seat.

Sounds silly, but could you just stick a drill or impact on the flywheel nut?

It’s called Quick Start.
Comes in a can

Just drive around up there until you find an old dirt bike. Pull the comprelease. And maybe swap in an Amal so you can tickle it!

Go kart starter with a bendex.

Nothing like a compression kick back from a kick start high compression engine to break some stuff on you.
