[QUOTE="chevyrulz, post: 355218, member: 10914"] my '93 had an "emergency" rope start you had to open the cowling, & there was a rope in there & a notch on the flywheel where it attached, you wrap the rope around 2x, & pull. if it didn't start, wrap again & pull. pain in the butt if you needed it i'm sure, but **** sure better than paddling! they also make an electric & rope start version of that motor. to change it, you have to buy a new motor cover cowling that has the rope start hole in it, and you have the buy the rope start assembly. in short, yes, it can definitely be done. a 2nd battery is a hell of a lot cheaper & easier though unless you happen to find some cheap used parts laying around [/QUOTE]
