has anybody built a roller starter
« on: April 22, 2015, 02:43:30 PM »
Hi there

I'm wondering if anybody has built a roller starter using an angle grinder as the power to turn the rollers.

If you have done this do you have any advice for me.

I want to use this for starting bikes that don't have electric start and have been sleeping for a while

Thanks
Scott

TG (turboguzzi) has one, so does Rene (Howell) I built mine using a starter motor with planetary drive because we rarely have power in the pits. Check with TG because I don't think Rene is here often anymore.
