Having worn out the pull cord after 4.5 hours I have devised the following modification to stop the cord rubbing on the starter housing, the pulley block and also rubbing on the back of the harness.<\/p>\n

More information will be released after a good test has been carried out.<\/p>\n

The pulley block swivel also gets stuck on the corner of the bracket so to ensure it rotates freely taking the corners off helped a lot.

I have decided im not happy with the standard pulley block as the cord does not flow through it clearly.

I replaced the standard pulley block with a swivel pulley block.
