There's no kick start on it unfortunately so it has to start by battery. However when I retrieved from an old shed in pretty bad condition, it didn't have a battery. Up until now I started it with a jump start battery my uncle lent me, but it's extremely draining on the battery and its power isn't what it used to be and it can barely turn the magneto. So the jump start battery is no longer an option. I need to find a viable option to start my Road Fox. I'm a student so I'm broke and can't afford a new battery, plus I'm kinda stingy and looking for something inventive to do. I've been trying to attach an old chainsaw pulley to the magneto, but the space between the wheel and the magneto is too tight. Check out some pictures and you'll see what I mean. Any creative engineers out there with a bright idea?
Ps: It's an automatic so I can't 'bump start' it either.
Thanks desert camel, but over here in the republic of Ireland, where I'm living, batteries can cost almost 50 euro. And yes I've started it with a drill before but I had to take off the wheel hub. Not exactly good for going somewhere in a hurry if you have to unbolt the wheel every time you want to start it, huh? But thanks for the inventive suggestions anyway.
