At least you have an electric start pony. 👍 Nice machines (yours included).
I talked to the owner of the other d2 a couple years ago (can't remember his name). He said that his D2 had an electric start pony but he took it off when he restored it. He said that it started easily with a rope and he didn't like the battery box on the fender.
i liked seeing them 2.
good luck.
