Anyway,
The savage also has a starter clutch, with a 1-way gear (I believe), which I bet many old kick-only-folks would've appreciated. Then mating it to the crank case may also be rather tricky... look at they way the savage's starter motor is buried in the crank case, esp the way it come "up" at the edge.
on a slightly related note, there must be soem way to search Bert Heise's old forum. If I click on an old link I have,
this one to bert's old forum, the proper page comes up...
so it iseems the info is still there... just not easily accesible.

And who speaks (types) german? Those dudes are doing all sorts of trick stuff w/ their savages! maybe they know how to do it...
