Make it as long as you can get rope on there. That way you will never come up short.:-)Larry

Makes sense! Dollar a foot...trying to get close...
Unfolded the wings and was prepared to start the engine for the second time...wings on....forgot to install the pull rope pulley and bring the handle through the hole in the back of the cockpit.... Just goes to show...always something!! Herb

Herb, It's been a few years since I rewound one but as I recall 5' is about all that will fit if you use 3/16 rope. Add whatever you need to get the handle to any guide your airframe has.

Years ago I had a Maxair Hummer, the engine was behind the wing, Rotax 277, and the pull handle was mounted alongside the panel, so you could start it from the cockpit while seated. It used 3/32" stainless cable/flying wire. If you go that route, you can put as many feet of it on the reel as you could reasonably want. Just be sure to use regular aircraft pulleys to turn the corners.

Actually, had a bit over 5 feet of pull rope on the pull start so going
to try that first....
while the pulley is off..decided to order the belt...Lockwood...35
dollars including shipping for a 10x590 belt...Made my Mitsubishi...or
has their name on it...Looks mighty standard to me..so ordered one made
by gates from O Reillys..we shall see...9 bucks...Herb
