You can replace the XTM Pullstart with the Rotostart kit used on the Savage engines. The same Roto start will work on the XTM Motors. I know of a lot of people who have removed the pull start and gone with the rotostart. It works well. I use one on my Mammoth that has the stock 24/7 in it and I use the Roto Start on my Savage with the Picco .26 in it. I have found that the BB Rotostart kit used on the Savage will fit many different types of engines and it works great. [8D]
