Abstract
The invention is directed to a starting device for manually starting an internal combustion engine and especially a two-stroke engine. The starting device comprises essentially a clutch drum which is actuated by a pull rope for imparting rotation to a catch which coacts with a clutch element of the engine shaft. The starting device maintains within limits the effects of stronger fluctuations of the reaction torque of the engine shaft on the hand of the operator. This is achieved in that the clutch drum and the carrier of the catch are configured as separate parts and are connected by an elastically-deformable entraining element which takes up the force peaks of the reaction torque.
