John,
are the terminals ones that hold a nut and then you use a screw through a ring to connect to the battery terminal? Have had to use the pull start a time or two on my Honda 4 wheeler, not a lot of fun as the electric start!
Good luck and keep us posted on progress.
My next project is cleaning up, blasting and then painting 2 sets of rear wheel weights and 1 set of front wheel weights. Seems that the last time I did this I was about 38 and those 150 lb. weights weren't much of a problem. Now, 20 years later, I seem to struggle with 150 lbs. and opt to use a Skid steer loader to pick them up.
