so let me learn here a West bend has left hand threads and the Coleman starter rotates clockwise
that means you will undo the nut trying to start the motor but the motor still has clockwise rotation ?
so a left hand jam nut is needed to keep the starting nut on but on most other Kart engines the starting
nut will turn as to tighten so its not a problem and is there any mechanism that des en-gauges the starting
motor or do you just yank it out of the kart engine real fast ? i can see belt starting from the flywheel that is
not much of a problem , does starting from the pto stress that part of the crankshaft ? i can see why belt starting
is desirable on a twin engine Kart or the only way to start them
