Scroll to page 90, which has a picture, a wireing diagram, and a description. New starter-generators are still available, as are the regulators, but cost in the $200 range.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Actually I did not convert it I had a 5hp that had a bad block and finding the right block to move the electric start system to was the PIA. The block itself was different,of course the flywheel is different and on this engine the crankshaft was longer to handle the different flywheel.   [Reply]  [No Email]
