[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 32936, member: 2708"] I assumed Diogenes last sentence " I wonder how long the timing gears will last" is in reference to the ignition/charge unit combo. As far as the need to demo the starter unit against full compression, I dont see that as necessary. The demo shows how the engine will spin over with the comp release pulled, which seems to me is the logical way to start these motors. There appears to be a much higher rotation speed than could be obtained with a kickstart with compression release pulled. There is no need for a starter sytem so powerful that it will crank it over without the compression release when the lever is right there on the handlebar. It looks very promising. I like the idea of using a Bendix rather than an easy to shatter sprag, plus the mounting location is excellent. Glen [/QUOTE]
