RE: To Roto Start Or Not To Roto Start...
Rotostarts are the devils work. [:'(] Your original post is why. They have all the disadvantages of pullstarts, and none of the advantages. If you are going to lug a large battery powered thing around with you, make it a starter box. At least that way you can properly seal your engine. Otherwise use a pullstart, and never worry about batteries, or lugging around heavy objects.
