Yes it is! Read to the end and you'll see.

The cost of converting from a clutchless to a clutch is expensive. It's cheaper to PRE-start your clutchless engine (where legal so to do) on a stand using a starter motor. This will warm the motor and 'prime' the motor ready to be started easily by one person.

You can then do this each time before you go out and you'll bye-pass most of the problems of cold and flooded engines.

Whatever you do and whatever anyone tells you..... N*E*V*E*R try to start you motor with a pulled rope or strap! Loads of people will tell you it's safe..... they are WRONG.... it ISN'T!
