they did away with the recoil-rope starter. you could look on e-bay for a used one off of an older one if you like.

If your battery goes dead then the computer wont power up either or the fuel pump or injector...I believe the pull starts are for the carbed models. Although, it would come in handy if your starter died..

i have a carb model and just thought that getting stranded without back-up woudnt be good
