That's the only other option you have besides a roto start, get a pull start. You'll have to buy a new back plate though to be able to use the pull start. Pull starts are awsome, no need for battery life, all you need to have is a fully charged GLow iginter and strong fingers. If you motor isn't tuned properly, expect some blisters from pulling on the pull start so much :thumbup: Other than that the Pull start is AWSOME.

odie - just making sure i understand the question. U currently have a non-pullstart engine, and your starterbox is broke? If this is correct - then u will still be better off getting another starter box, as the cost of converting the engine to a pullstart will be almost as much. u can't just 'put a pull starter on it' - u need to install a rear crank and one way bearing as well, plus, usually a different back plte for the crankcase. by the time u get done, u are up to about 80.00 and u can easily get a new box for that or less.

Yeah I figured as much but I just wanted to know if there was a temp thing I could do like a rubber wheel on a drill or something like that. It’s been sitting on the bench looking at me for 3 months now. Getting the itch if you know what I mean

I have a simple 12V starter with a rubber wheel that i place against the flywheel under my car. Its not as easy as with a starter box, but it works and i got it free

well if the motors are burned out in the box, u can replace those (most elec car motors bolt right up)
