I guess only an Irishman would try to Pull-start the power washer a couple of weeks after open heart surgery for an aortic aneurysm repair and valve replacement. But yes that was me, it was not such a clever idea.
Although now (9 years later) (I'm now 56 years old) I can start most engine by hand pulling, I normally do the initial start with the Pullstarter that I designed and have refined over the years. I now have it available at it can be seen in action at
https://www.pullstarters.com The units are not mass produced, they are made from machined and extruded aluminum, so are a little expensive.
I ship them individually from Ireland.
Sorry for 'advertising here' - I am a start up with zero funding - and maybe some members of this forum who are struggling with their equipment may wish to avail of the tool.
Comments are most welcome
