I built a splitter about 10 yrs ago using a 5hp IC off of a trash pump. Its a good running engine but a bugger to start. I've learned my lesson about leaving it outside after tearing tank/carb apart to clean out water. I took out the antisplash foam from the tank and recently resealed the tank seam. I've had that assy apart ten times to clean it out and its always been a hard starter. Personally, I miss the gravity fed carbs from the old briggs instead of these picky fuel pump specials. It starts hard! With each pull giving a few more putts so after about what seems like a hundred pulls its running and I'm too pouped to split! I know I shouldn't fix one problem with another but can I put an electric starter on this engine? I see them on ebay for troybuilts.
