Converting pull cord motor into an electric start motor
Are there devices out there that are made to convert pull cord motors
into electric motors? I have a 3.0 gamefisher motor but the pullcord is very inconvienient and I'd love to hook up some sorta electric starter and battery to substitute for the pull cord. Does this exist and if so how can i find more information about whats available. For example, what are some key words/categories i can use to search online for this? |

Converting pull cord motor into an electric start motor
The problem with implementing what you want to do, is the engine will
not have a ring gear on the flywheel for the starter to engage. Unless the engine is optionally available w/ES, you would have to have the ring gear custom made, adapted to the flywheel including clearancing the engine shroud. Then, of course, finding a starter motor from a snow blower, lawn mower, etc that would be compatible, having the ring gear fabricated to match the starter's pinion gear pitch. Then, also, you will have to devise a mounting scheme on the engine for the starter. Additionally, probably will have to have a custom timing retard IC module developed to reduce the load on cranking. This is just for starting to develop a prototype setup.
