rotostart vs pullstart

[mehx20]

tempted to get this and get rid of my pullstart on my schuey riot.

I'd like people's experience and opinions with them.

From experience nothing beats the pull start when she cuts on the sand dunes as all i have to bring with me is the glowstart and nothing else. One tug and back to life .

I'd hate to have to carry the motor section with me on the dunes as i usually leave all my set up in the carpark in my boot and just go down there to refuel and let her cool. are rotostarts heavy and big???

all help appreciated

IMO, stay with the PS. I never saw any reason to switch since nothing is more convenient.

If your engine is properly tuned then it shouldn't take more than 3 pulls tops to fire it up when it's warm.

I roto start everything. A well tuned engine usually will start easy enough for a PS, but even they can be a hassle sometimes.

Heres a site that has roto-start plates for just about every engine on the market
