Herb, It's been a few years since I rewound one but as I recall 5' is about
all that will fit if you use 3/16 rope. Add whatever you need to get the
handle to any guide your airframe has.

Years ago I had a Maxair Hummer, the engine was behind the wing, Rotax 277, and
the pull handle was mounted alongside the panel, so you could start it from the
cockpit while seated. It used 3/32" stainless cable/flying wire. If you go
that route, you can put as many feet of it on the reel as you could reasonably
want. Just be sure to use regular aircraft pulleys to turn the corners.

cable...Will try that first...

Actually, had a bit over 5 feet of pull rope on the pull start so going
to try that first....
while the pulley is off..decided to order the belt...Lockwood...35
dollars including shipping for a 10x590 belt...Made my Mitsubishi...or
has their name on it...Looks mighty standard to me..so ordered one made
by gates from O Reillys..we shall see...9 bucks...Herb

Thanks Richard, I plan to give it a try. Maybe I=92ll start with old
Lexan and trim to my liking for a pattern.
