I guess nobody told him he couldn't do it, so he just did it.

Pull start V8

Just like a Stihlsaw or a lawnmower.

Only bigger.

Can you imagine the mess if that kicked back though....lol

That sounds awsome. I doubt you could get a Rover V8 to run that long, being revved like that, without having it connected to at least a radiator.

No need for a radiator - it's air-cooled

In that case, where can I buy one and how hard will it be to mate it to a type-9 gearbox ?

My old 2.7 litre V6 DT200 suzuki outboard had a pull cord if the battery failed
