       Redneck chainsaw starter

       Just had to share this Redneck win. My dad went through the same
       thing. I could only come up with D handle to buy some time and
       then a saw with elastostart on smaller saw. Then saws with
       decomp button and easy start for our win.
       "Kick Start" For Chainsaw
       Despite arthritis in his elbows and shoulders, Ben Schultz, 83,
       can still handle a chainsaw well enough to cut firewood. His
       problem is starting it. He can’t yank the pull cord fast enough.
       Thanks to a simple device made of scraps by his son, Schultz has
       a new easy starter for his saw and doesn’t need to ask anyone to
       start it for him.
       “It’s sort of a simple thing, mainly to give it more stroke,”
       says his son, Dan Schultz, who works as a technician for
       engineers.
       He used scrap wood and a 2 by 2 for the lever, which is attached
       to the wood frame with a bolt. An old clamp and pieces of metal
       on the bottom board secure the front handlebar and rear handle
       of saw. The pull cord slips through a notch and hole on the end
       of the wooden lever.
       “You just give the lever a good, quick push with your foot to
       pull the cord and start the saw,” says Dan Schultz.
       It’s worked great for his father for a couple of years, giving
       him the independence to continue doing something he enjoys.

       That is a pretty cool idea and could be made to work on any saw.
       Even when your in your 80's sometimes a little independence
       goes a long ways.
       I also like the long 2x4 so that there is something that can be
       held on to while pushing down with your foot.

       bloody brilliant so simple and effective would be grat for many
       of the old macs I bring home trying to get signs of life on some
       of them kills the shoulders and what I like the most about this
       is a son helping his old man remain independent instead of
       trying to take away his toys and shove him in a nursing home Be
       nice to see if there is a you tube vid
