We BOTH have tow bars now, originals....
:giveup

Small Changes....

So Removing the pull start and installing the electric starter and just a battery (no alternator set up).

Pretty straight forward, removing the long tube for the starting wire ...hard,
not losing grip of the spring loaded starter wire, very hard, ohh and one
more thing...

DO NOT TRY AND OPEN UP THE RECOIL/SPRING Mechanism, that SPRING
WILL UNLOAD!!! :teach: :doh:

otherwise is not too bad, the first one took about 3 hours, the second one
about a hour and a half, (some of that was searching for good wire).

all in all not a very difficult process, made more fun with many friends
from the MV community around to keep us company and provide helpful advice. :cheers:
