Hi Guys.....

I became disabled in '99....I love having all the gas powered toys to do my chorse.....I can not pull start them because I cant seam to get the power and snap in my pull any more.....I have tried using a 1/2 drill motor with ratchting socket ..... Much to rough on my 70 year old body..... I have contacted the different mfg. but starters are not avaible for the smaller engines....I cant even start my Honda pressure washer....paid a lot for that cant start it....I have a nice shop with all the toys except a mill or lathe....I am willing to buy replacement parts foe the larger engines and try to make them work....Lit me hear your ideas.....Thanks Don S W Ohio

Starter and generator combined. Just add the regulator, a battery and push to start button. Simple, cheap and works well.

Electric starter kits are available for"most" engines down to 3-4hp,although they may be difficult to find.Usually they will req the engine to either be fitted with a flywheel ring gear or toothed flywheel.There are rechargable nicad systems used on push lawnmower types,wet battery 12V and AC120 systems also.One the manual side there are wind up "impulse systems" that use a spring to spin the engine,"EZ pull"geared systems which greatly reduce needed effort and the"EZ Spin" which supposedly allows a 3/8 drill to be used(Northern Tool).I see now there are even battery-pak equipped electric start chainsaws from major mfgs. You will need to dig around a little in catalogs re:crossover applications(many gas floor buffers,small generators,vehicle mounted applications use elec start) but you should be able to find what tyou need...Hope this helps.

Know what you mean...rope starters do not mix with heart problems. Fellow gave me an old B&S engine that had starter teeth on the flywheel. Replaced the flywheel on my old Sears mower with it and bought a 12 volt starter off of E-bay. The bolt holes for the starter are all ready there on many engines. I Use a spare battery and jump cables to start it. If you are realy good, can you build a bracket for an electric motor that will let you tighten the belt to spin it then loosen it after it starts.

You might pick up a starter generator from a mid 60s cub tractor. Something like the cub low boy farmall tractor. They used a starter genny to start the engines and a belt. That way you might be able to make a bracket and mount a pulley to the flywheel on your engines and get them started that way. If you did it right you could set it up to work on more then one engine with the right bracket etc.
