don't know exactly, but you will need the pullstart manifold. It's shaped differently to go around the pullstart housing.

Just curious, why are you converting to pullstart? Usually everyone is trying to convert from pullstart to non.

You also need to replace the crank with one designed for a pull start. The pull start uses the pin on the crank to turn the engine. On a non-pull start engine, the pin is flush with the end of the connecting rod (nothing for the pull start mechanism to push).

Yeah, if you're having trouble getting it started with a box, a pullstarter wouldn't help. It would just make you tired, and have blisters on your fingers. (Take it from someone that knows :)

Sorry it's causin problems though, that sucks. Good luck!
