Has anyone tried using paracord in replacement for the cheap nylon rope on a clone pull start? Pros or Cons? Anyone make a better replacement rope?
Para cord can hold 550 pounds an inch
I've used Climbing Cord on C50 Comer engines and Clone engines. Works great. Lasts much better than typical pull start rope. The trick is finding the right diameter for your application. No "stretch".

At the AKRA kart show, a vendor was selling lengths of this type of cord for pull starters, so I know others have tried it too.
