Kart starters

[Jim Waltz]

Chuck.  

You crack me up sometimes.  

The POINT of the GEM starter nut with a sockethead cap screw in the end of it IS to start a lefthand thread engine from the PTO side.  That is exactly what it is for, and why GEM made two different style of nuts.  One PTO, one flywheel.

The flywheel is NOT the only side from which you can start a lefthand thread engine.

Teddy will correct himself once he thinks about it for a while.  And actually, he didn't say the "only" way is to start from the flywheel side, just that he thinks it's the "better" way.  He doesn't have to correct himself at all.  That's the nice thing about opinions.

And, I don't just want to sell starter tips.  I make them because I needed some, and the previous maker stopped making them.  I do it mainly as a service to our fellow vintage karters.  I won't use a plug in starter without that little accessory, and no one else should either.

Oh, and Chuck, your mother wears Army boots........
