In Part 1, I showed how to modify the pull start to make it rotate in the counter-clockwise direction for use on the ZA50's flywheel. In Part 2, I will show how to modify and mount the prawl onto the flywheel and mount the pull starter to the bike.

Puch ZA50 Pull Starter (Part 1)
Installing a pull starter on mopeds is the latest trend for those who want to give up the pedal, push, or kick starts. I've seen a lot of variations around the web on this concept. The most popular is the use of a go-ped style pull starter with pawl. The GS MOON pull starter and pawl combo seem to be the cheapest and easiest to use. The pawl is connected to the moped's magneto flywheel and the pull starter is rigged onto the magneto cover or a custom bracket. As you pull on the starter, it engages the pawl, which in-turn spins the magneto flywheel to starts the moped. Here are a few examples:
