Re: Should I even think about a PULL STRING?
it all comes down to the fact "do you HAVE to start it?" if the answer is yes, you can and will do it, you will be surprised what you can do when you HAVE to, like a dead battery 20 miles from shore, no one around and darkness falling, trust me, you could almost pull start a Tractor if your life depended on it, it is not much fun but I have done it a few times on big motors, and as mentioned do not have anyone near you when you do, because you will either whip the cr@p out them, or smack them with your elbow, also do not have the rope too long, if it starts when the rope is still on the flywheel it will whip around like a 115HP weed wacker! and make sure you have EVERYTHING set, like key ON, manual choke ON, safety stop lanyard in place all those small things need to be taken care of!
