Wonder why it’s so hard? I am glad I didn’t get electric start on my stump grinder with a 14hp Kohler engine. Thing fires right up first pull every time.

 

oh hell yeah brother! thanks for the link

 

with a chipper you are pulling engine AND massive flywheel. its like a mazda rotary. if it isnst spinning fast its not going to light. i didnt have the belt tight enough and after a few beers did it left handed now have a torn rotator cuff. im ruined without surgery now. oops
it really takes hulk strength to start it. its in a good state of tune but its still tough. if it doesnt light on try 3 im not likely to get it.think the flywheel is 20lbs. its tough to spin.

 

Pic stolen from the internet but it’s worth a thousand words. This is how I start stubborn pull start equipment.

 

my exact fuckin idea. does it work? im not trying to be a moisty but ive got shoulder issues and work to do. open to ideas and feedback.

 

Didn’t think about that. Sucks about your shoulder!

 

Works great, as long as your drill battery is charged. Nothing moisty about it, I’m a 39yr old, relatively in shape dude and I get tired of pulling these things over when messing with them.

Work smarter, not harder. Save the hard for when it’s needed.

 

45 and refuse to quit but take it slower at times.

 

Shoulder repaired back in 17 still not right probably never will be again but it works better that b/4 surgery.

 

57 and broken down. Bad left ankle and foot, arthritis in right wrist /rt. knee heart attack in 08- stent in there, Rt. shoulder in 17. And my latest is back surgery almost 3 months ago. I really wish I had worked smarter not harder.

 

you sound like construction was a trade. or motorcycles as hobby. owch, you have a batch of body repairs. your carfax report sounds tough. i bet you have enough spirit for another 100k.
ive got 2 ruined knees, scoliosis, bad back, arthritis body wide, and genetic vision loss. im going to go crack another beer, smoke a fatty, and light the chipper up to stay young and spry.

 

Truck driver past 18 years, motoercycle hobby,scuba diver hobby,scoliosis/herniated and bulging disc. Already had 2 beers, played ruff and threw frisbee with Maligator,washed Tacoma and washed windows from Maligator nose inside.
Played/worked very hard as a young man. Waiting on winning the lottery.

 

me too. on lotto!

 

I’ve got nothing against hard work, I watched my dad work his hands to the bone for my entire childhood. I also watched as he developed easier ways to do the same job with less physical effort. That part caught my eye, and he made sure us kids figured it out for ourselves, just earlier in life.

Thinking outside the box is one of my favorite things to do, sometimes the hardest part is getting out of the box in the first place.

 

Works great. This worked for a year after fixing the pull start twice.

 

Hell yeah!

 

It will work until it does this:

 

the other bad thing that sometimes happens is the bolt breaks off in the shaft..... then you gotta drill & clean out & that takes forever ... or at that point you throw it out & get another motor. :-0

im with you guys on the broken down from every direction. neck, back, rt shoulder, L4-L5 busted disc, enlarged heart valve(leaking), IBS, GERD, high BP, Barrets Esophagus & Pancreatitis....

most of this stuff is from being a economy size guy outworking big guys all my life, the rest is from being a stupid young guy who never planned on living past 35.

now 55 & not many good parts left. still living the dream every day though= because my bulldogs love me & my kids are good productive adults.
