You might move/trade up to a 9.9 with electric start & built-in
alternator by the time you fabricate the brackets & source all of the
needed parts.

Agreed!

Trying to mount a starter motor on an engine that wasn't designed for
it is a royal PITA. Another thing to note is that seeing you engine
wasn't designed for electric start, does the flywheel even have teeth
on it? if not, then that means you'd have to come up with a different
flywheel also.

It will already have nearly the correct type of flywheel as it has the
pinion type recoil starter, save for the teeth are cast recessed into
the flywheel, not on a hardened flywheel ring.

But is there an electric starter pinion out there to match it? It will
be trial & error at best. The 9.9/15 starter would be a good first try
if he wishes to undertake the project. And it will chew up the flywheel
unless you can source a plastic or composite pinion gear.

OK rob, so evidently this isn't a "lawnmower" dype recoil start that
is build to fit right ont he end of the flywheel, this DOES have a
meshing pull rope start?

If that be the case,t hen I would imagine there might have been an
electric start option...

interesting
