You ever see something that makes you ask why?

I just don't get it. You could either start your engine or have a shiny air scoop instead

Does the pull start cord come through the center hole?

 

[RickDizzle]

Yeah I'm confused...how would you start your engine if this replaces the pull start?

 

[Seandonato73]

I tried real hard to see it, even looked up the mfg. It's a goped part, so may be they are bump starting them?

Looks utterly pointless, I can’t find any images of one fitted.
My best guess is you would start your engine then remove the starter and fit that bollox and run it, good luck with that. I I wouldn’t be putting my fingers near a spinning flywheel. Those things look like they eat fingers for fun.

Maybe in the drag seen that might be useful, but over here in the UK we don’t really have that so I don’t know. Either way it looks like another RB innovations job. Just a bad idea.

RBI=Really Bollcoks Innovations??

Well if we still had brap brappington here he would sure tell us how to start a goped..... I think the only way to bump start a go ped is to get the wheel spinning as fast as the engagement of the clutch i would think ?‍

 

[Milo]

How the hell would that work in a Baja?

You could spin the wheels at the speed of sound and the all you do is spin the clutch bell. Not a thing would happen and if somehow you could reverse the clutch and and bell then opposite would happen when you run the engine.

Again I’m guessing but to bump start it you need a CVD transmission so there is constant engagement between engine and drivetrain.

 

[Rep732]

Ahh good point milo...then I have no feking clue as to why that part is offered

 

[Seandonato73]

Cvd wouldnt work either the belt is slack at idle, I was thinking more of a flywheel on a nitro, but that wouldnt work well either.

 

[Milo]

Then only traditional gearbox and clutch would would work. But that ain’t happening in a Baja.

I’d love to see a vid of someone fitting it to running engine. Don’t drop them screws mind they might send a load of shrapnel into your face. Nice one for no extra gains.

Guys, stop being so judgmental and negative, that's a bad a$$ carburetor ram air dirt scoop v.2 . The only way I see to improve on that design is to add servo actuated venturi butterflies ?
