Anything is possible, but it's not going to be an easy road.

You need to add a whole kickstart mechanism into the cases that were not really designed for it. The mechanism usually consists of a couple of gears, a spring, a ratcheting or clutch assembly, and the kicker shaft. It's not a simple addition at all.

i heard that if the total stroke required of the kickstart lever

matched the thickness of your wallet

it would work
