Spring Starter

[Billhook]

Just watched this video on a spring starter starting up a large diesel

 

IPU's mini spring starters: reliable starting for smaller engines

 

and was wondering if something on a smaller scale had ever been used on a chainsaw.

Just thinking of all you climbers out there who may find it easier to do one handed starting of your chainsaw while up in the canopy.

Do all the winding on the ground to perhaps give you enough energy for several starts.

I can see that there may be a slight increase in weight but maybe hardly anything as it is replacing a recoil spring.

that engine has to be warm there is no way that the old 2 stroke detroits would start as quick as that ive seen air start detroits with a transmission and 3 hydraulic pumps on them and they never ever start as quick as that ipu do a unit that looks like it could serve as a stress controller for a chipper
