1. Yes, do you must have a battery using pull start.
2. The bike doesn't fire up using start button, but as soon as you try using the pull start it fires up, because the bike's electrical starter motor have a short circuit to the ground or the starter motor supply wire is on short circuit to the ground!
3. Check and repair if necessary the starter motor supply wire. If everything is in good condition then remove the electrical starter motor and repair it!
