avenger manual starter

[brebett]

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add a hand crank to start my avenger 2004. If I have a battery problem or starter problem ( like what I have now) and away from home it would be nice to have a manual crank.
Thank you
Jack

I try to always carry a jumper battery pack out in the field. Dosent help when starter fails. I've started my 27 hp max with a flat strap wraped on drive clutch. It's not easy and usually requires duct tape to hold the end in place. I've also thought of a light weight pulley mounted on the outer und of the drive clutch that could have a rope wound on it. With these engines not having the internal compression release they are brutal to rope start. I've installed rope starts on 23 hp kohlers in the max and hope I never need it.
