Converting a Harbor Freight Chainsaw to Electric Start

I have a cheap chainsaw. Maybe there's some universal tricky editing going on, but whenever I watch someone on TH-cam with a nice chainsaw go to work, they take one easy pull on the cord and the thing springs to life and they're making sawdust in no time. Well my experience hasn't been that. My saw takes multiple pulls. Hard pulls. Sometimes I'm exhausted before my first cut, and I'm not a fan of that. It makes it not fun.
To address this, I've got it in my head to convert my Harbor Freight Poulin Pro PR4218 to electric start. I'm going to remove the pull cord and make a few steel bits that let me drive the cord reel with a drill. I made a prototype to prove that my drills had enough power to get the saw started and they do.
For the most part the build went well. There was a snag in the middle where the spring ripped out of its plastic housing, so I had to add a steel pin and tack weld the spring straight to that, but once that was all reinforced it worked great. It fires right up off the drill, and when it decides to act out a little it's far less tiring to crank it over and over and over again when I just have to pull a trigger. Overall it's a huge win.
Time will tell if it holds up.
