Pull Start Screen Modification

I thought it a good idea to put a thread together for this basic modification.
The pull start vent holes allow a ton of crap to get sucked into the rotor area.
It is recommended everyone get a pull start outerwears.com but for those who cannot afford it right away here are a couple ideas of what to do.

You can remove your pull start and either install a screen modification on the outside or the inside. Here are a couple of photos of both.

Inside:

Outside:
Install the same type of window screen cut to fit over the vent holes. I used 3M self adhesive by spraying it on the screen and setting it in place. Other adhesives could also be used.

That's a good idea, I never thought of that. My pullstart started acting up about 6 tanks worth of fuel. So I bought an Outerwears cover for it, but this tip is cheaper!

Good Tip..

It works but your right an outerwears is much better.

Nothing worse than having to wrap the pull cord around the body 3 or 4 times!
