One time I had an onan generator something like yours. My starter was built into the back of the generator and everybody warned me when it burned out it would be expensive to rewind. Even when new it would not spin all that fast in start mode. It was a Hercules motor and had a mounting place on the engine block for a regular starter. The flywheel had a ring gear on it. I took the cover off the hole where the starter would mount. But I can't remember which starter I used after a while I went back to using the starter it came with. I would try Old's idea first. As I remember it did not start like a regular starter. It started turning slowly and sped up as it turned. Mine was 24 volt. I know it was overkill I used two 12 volt group 31 batteries connected in series. If your starter is not on back of the generator, please disregard this post. ps I was just thinking I had trouble starting it when I first got it. The Murphy switches were bypassed the first few starts. Reconnected after that and it worked fine.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
