At the weekend I took my Hyper back home to run on the recreation ground down the road.
The grass was nice and short so I got my jump out and gave it a bit of a beating. In so doing the four small set screws that hold the pull start on loosened off and fell out. Resulting in the pull start spraying itself over the rec. We found the spring and plate (not the back plate but the bit that holds the spring wire), and the string had wrapped round the rear driveshaft, unfortunately the handle and rubber bit on the string were lost somewhere in the grass never to be seen again
....and there was me thinking I'd got away with not snapping the pull start....
So, I plan on finding some new screws, threadlocking them in and screwing the plate back onto the block and using a starter box instead...much easier.
However having just moved out, money is tight as a ducks arse, so any recommendations for a cheap but decent starter box would be most appreciated!
Cheers
