Yea the body can be a pain but I have my body lowered right down, a long glow starter that is a push and twist design and a hole in the roof. Also a cutout in the side window for the pullstart and dont have any problem...oh yea extending the pull start a little helps too, (either with a cable tie or extend the tubing under the handle)...and you can also bend the side of the body up a little get your hand under, grab the pullstart and push it out through the window and grab it with the other hand.
But man the OS 18 is so good it hardly ever stalls...just keeps on tickin over....
