the cen pull starts dont seem all that bad to me, mine has been in the car for well over 6 months now. Just be careful not to pull the string out as far as it will go when starting. once ur engine is run in and properly tuned, it should start with a couple of light pulls, just a flick of the wrist. dont try to start it like its a chainsaw or anything like that!!

other pullstarts may fit, but i really cant help on that one im afraid
