or mabey a good one.
my old man has a 2156 that is cold blooded as an eskimo prostitute. his shoulder has been hurting him of late, possibly from yankin on that saw. so ive been thinking about how to make an electric start for the saw.
my first thought was to just put a hole through the recoil cover so i could use an 18v drill with a nut driver to turn the crank shaft. will that work? wouldnt that screw up the recoil mechanism?
so if that doesnt work what about going in through the other side. make a hole in the clutch cover, and use a clutch removal tool attached to a nut driver on the cordless drill.
any thoughts? any one done it?(wouldnt put it past any of you) would the 18v drill turn fast enough? would it have enough tourqe? any other ideas about an electric start saw?
