Anyone know what an "aftermarket pull start" on a TKM is?

I know the old trick for starting them in the paddock with a bit of strapping around the rear wheel but I never knew you could get pulls starts? Considering what the plug in starters have to do to get them started Im surprised you could pull one like a Honda GX for instance. Anyone know about these?

look like a very old engine, but im not up to date on what they used back then. i always thought tkm 2 strokes were a bump start or an electric start. a pul start to me is a pully like u get on ure lawnmower but i dont know if it related to that

maybe he meant to say PUSH start instead of PULL start, new seller

Ghinzani, I cannot see the listing as it was nearly 5 years ago.

I have never heard of a pull start for a TKM DD, it may be a hand throttle to help the driver push start the kart?

I think it might have been a mis-labelled KT100... but the memory isnt that good!
