Nissan / Thatsu 6HP 4 Stroke. I want to replace my old 6HP Nissan, but have 2 issues. I operate the motor by opening the rear hatch. The pull start I currently have has a built in 90 degree bend so that I can pull it vertically not horiontaly. Will I have a problem with a horizontal pull start? The 2014 modles have 2 major design changes. First the throttle arm is 4" longer will this cause a problem in closing the hatch it is a tight fit as it is. Second the gear control is no longer on the side of the motor it is in the front of the motor will this cause any problems. Thanks Jake Commander 131
