If I get time tomorrow, I'll pull the clutch of the 3hp that I just got, and see what I can determine.
On the other hand, I'm not opening up my 8hp again. I JUST got it running!

I was thinkin a bicycle freewheel welded to the starter cup could run a chain back to a sprocket with a bicycle pedal. the left side crack could be cut off and a limiter and spring return all built into the shroud. should work since it would have the gear reduction needed

This would be a nifty start to a DIY kick-start!

Ya that would be cool. some of the levers or foot arm folded too. but with that kind of set up it would be still a kick forward. This method could be also mated with a dual sprocket clutch, or a PTO with 2 sprockets and this, one for a clutch on a jackshaft and one for the starter engagement. the other sprocket with the chain is attached has a spring attached aswell, this serves as the "retractor" for the kicker arm and also prevents a kickback via the chain movement.
