Sure can... I used to put my 110 in 1rst gear, grab the wheel and give it a twist by hand.... Fire right up...

Did you give it an honest try?...

Get it in second, sit on the bike and pull up on the shifter like you are shifting into third but keep holding up on the shifter
Now have your girl push you (after all she broke it right?)
Wait until she is almost out of breath and let go of the shifter...

If you didnt ave the switch on when you started this routine, turn it on, have her sit on the bike and you push her:D

repeat until the bike starts...

If you/she just ripped the cord you can take it apart and re-cord it (make sure you have tenstion on the spring) if you broke something else like the "catches" you'll need to find anothe or parts to fix it. I'd check eBay or the classifieds on here

just get a new pull rope and rewind a good one in and put it back together.its easy to do.after a couple times you will be able to do it blind folded

I push started my 185s for years, Its still running so dont worry about breaking anything

I just put it in 3rd,turn the switch to run,turn on the gas tank,turn on the petcock,and push until it fires up!.

:) then BRAAAAPPP BAABB BRAAP your good to go :)

If he get's a "Braaaapppp" out of it its only running on two strokes, and that could be real trouble:D

Seriously "110", pop starting it will not hurt it any more than down shifting on a hill, your good to go until you find the parts to fix your pull starter

just push it.. you wont break nothin.. its a honda 3 wheeler.. they are pretty much indestructable for the most part.. some parts will break.. but none of the necessary stuff will.. ive push started my 250 a good many times.. and the transmission is a semi automatic, so dont worry about breaking it..

that because it is in gear......do like what was explained to you.....shift it into second or 3rd gear but hold up on teh shifter with your toe....that way it isnt engaged...get someone to push you.....then let go of the toe shifter....it will start

You can get fuel line at your local auto parts store too... Is it running yet?

1). if you wont believe us after asking then don't ask us in the first place. 2). trikes cost money to maintain, as long with everything else. 3). i do it to my 1984 atc110 all the time. i put mine in 4th gear High range then just go to the back of it and give her a thrust and it fires right up :naughty:

if you have a hill then just put it in 3rd or 4th high range and pull up on the lever, once you get a bit of speed let the lever down and it will crank her over.

I pushed started my 200 for weeks up until this weekend. I would put it in 2nd or 3rd gear, go to the back of the trike, lift it up, take a few running steps holding the back tires off the ground, slam the tires on the ground, and keep pushing. Just dont let go when its started lol

I bump start my 110 all the time. I just put it in neutral, roll down my driveway, and pop it in 1st. Easy as that :)

i was winding rope around the starter cage until i got my new starter *not advised*. turns out that cage gets really upset with you if your toe happens to slip off the lever
