Can you take a VW bug engine and make it a pull start for a dune buggy?

Is it possible?Can you take a VW bug engine and make it a pull start for a dune buggy?Yes, there used to be aftermarket companys that make pull starts for for vw engines. That said there collectors items today and no long made(nor have been for 30-40 years) so it'll take you some time and money to find one. As well a more common(as in made by vw) would be a crank start, which the crank nuts pop up on ebay all the time for about ($10-20), but never seen the crank for sale(not that a machine shop couldn't make one up) Now all that said if you running a vw tranny why not just hit up the junkyards for a used starter, be cheaper and much easier than tring to kick it over by hand.Can you take a VW bug engine and make it a pull start for a dune buggy?

Why would you want to make it a pull start when it already starts up well with a key. Put the engine in the buggy and leave the ignition the way it is.Can you take a VW bug engine and make it a pull start for a dune buggy?YES YOU CAN.vwjcook@yahoo.comCan you take a VW bug engine and make it a pull start for a dune buggy?
Uh..I'm not an expert but I think without a compression release it's just too large an engine to pull start. You could always push start.
Yes.
