How to start a mini moto dirt bike without hastle?

I bought my son the 50cc for xmas however i am finding it impossible to start it. It is to hard for a woman to do it. the pull start is to hard for me and he definitely couldnt use it. it is a 50cc mini moto dirt bike a 2008 model. could anyone advise me if there is any other way you can get to start these things. is there an electric starter for a 2 stroke engine. thanks for reading anyway

give it a spray of aero start before pulling..it will start first time every time..spray into air cleaner

if your bike is pulling away when you start it its probably the air screw make play around with it to get the air/petrol mix right if you have if wrong it can make your bike rev without you even doing anythingg

i had the same problem.a cheap can of easy start will do the job...dnt listen to that nob called peter..he was probably hard done by as a kid....mardy twat..anyway get a can of easy start and spray a little bit in the carb/air filter and it will start first time...mines a crap make and a crap engine but that works everytime

ur all a bit crewl the best way is probably to use a drill if u havent got 1 just buy a new pull start off ebay for about £6 plus p&p

hi
you can use a drill
take out the pull start
and put the drill where it spins and turn the drill on
it should work
it works with me

no matter what there is always a little hastle make sure u have your choke and petrol on slitly rev the bike with the brake on.

And now for the real answer....

First get him some proper protective clothing. After that.....

Like most things, it's a matter of technique, not brute force. Pull rope gently till resistance is felt. Allow rope to return, then take up the slack. Pull sharply. Engine should start 1st or 2nd attempt. My 9-year-old has no trouble at all starting his.

An electrc start version would obviously have been better, but also more expensive.

it is the compression of the engine which makes it hard to pull start,but that is quite normal.so either get an electric start version [or get a man to start it]i like a good hard pull myself,
