thanks

i've had the same issue as you with the pullstart. several people on here suggested the ofna chrome top which is about 70 bucks plus shipping at the stores i've looked at but i ordered mine off ebay for 70 shipped. heres the links to the box's

go with the starter box listed above, and you can get one used with battery for around $50 - $70

and the battery is like a car battery, but smaller and its somthimes called a gel cell.

Put the backplate assembly back on regardless of whether the pullstart works and just pop on a starterbox. Should be sweet. By the way you should be able to get a 12V gell cell from your LHS.
