ok ....make this easy..

best method - starter box (also most expensive but eliminates any rotating mass associated with some starting methods)
Pullstart - cheapest, easiest, most convienent (20 bucks)
shaft start - requilres a battery and harder on oneway but easy to use and provides fast starts (under 50 bucks)
ez start - slower then shaft start, less reliable with all the wiring, dependant on battery and HEAVIER THEN ALL THE OTHERS!

I have a revo, I went with Pullstart. Some people give me a hard time....but honestly I like the pullstarter alot. I think as long as you dont abuse it, itll last a while. I learned quick, if its flodded losen the glow plug so you dont break the cord....but other then that its pretty simple. I just now on my 3rd plus gallon had a little oneway stick and thats probably normal...I cleaned it good, relubed and its good to go.
