OK. Well im in a wheelchair so i like rotostarts its the only way i can start it. Btw i fixed my pull start just now

seriously...if u get a good tune your engine should start within 3 pulls.....what ya might try is putting your thumb on the head of the engine and the pull start between your index and the next finger....you dont have to pull it far...just short quick pulls....by doing it this way u can also position your hand to were your pulling straight out and not rubbing the cord against the backplate...dont know how long your fingers are but like I said...ya dont havta pull to far

Thanks alot for the help guys. Hurricane hobbies says that they have some drill plates in stock for my car possibly so Im gonna check that out. I started it today with my friend and temorary pull start but thats it and the starter wouldnt retract. I shut itoff.
