My starter isnt working, and I'm getting friggin tired of push starting the old girl, lol. I dont have any money for a new starter... is there any way of ghetto-rigging a pull starter or something? lol

btw, my 7 is a beat up, dented, barely running POS Its hilarious just to watch it in motion, theres more wrong with it than there is right with it... and I think it would be even more friggin hilarious if I rigged up a pull start system lol

 

rebuilt starters should be cheap, depending on local availability.

Starters have so much power going through them you don't want to do a half-assed job on the wiring - you could easily start an engine fire or melt your harness.

 

eh, dammit, maybe i should just do this the right way, lol.

 

Pull start

now THAT would be something I'd pay to see


or maybe one of those cranks in the front end?

 

Junk yard man . Theyre $15 all day long at my local yard as I recall.

A really cheap way without push starting huh?, PARK ON A HILL!.

 

wack the old one with a large metal pole.
the back yard style of getting them runnging agian

 

A heavy rock works too!.

 

i use a tire iron

 

I had mine rebuilt by a local guy $25, and its still going strong 3 years later...

 

You could rebuild it yourself... Good luck, but I'm not gonna go through with a writeup on starter rebuilds until I rebuild one myself...

Just hit it with a hammer once... It might crank over... It's just a bandaid fix though.

 

Junk Yard is your answer...... They sell $15 and you can test it out before you buy it.... and you have more choices...

 

grab the pull-start wheel from a big lawnmower.. mount it to the main pulley.... a hole in the hood, and a lot of muscle power... MIGHT work... Not exactly sure of the logistics...

 

I think it takes more power to crank over a good compression 12a than your arms can provide

Just get it rebuilt, it'll cost you like $20 tops...

 

Just use a stick and everytime u have to start the car.. just hit the starter with the stick.. not to hard and it should start

 

Park on a hill = free

else

O'reilly has em for like $80 and lifetime warranty.

 

I want to see this pull starter idea... i mean, ever turned your essentric shaft pulley by hand? it's pretty easy.
