Hi Dan,

If you're not worried about having an original starter pulley you may be able to fit a metal pulley from another motor ,I'm
not sure if a repair would be strong enough without trying it , but it would need painting black to hide the repair.

Another option is to look for an old outboard motor and you could use a recoil starter.

Cheers
Max.
