Recommended Posts

My 704 (little red) is getting to the point where it takes several pulls to start. I know it sounds like not a problem but both my wife, she uses it more than me, both have arthritis in our shoulder, among other place. I have K181, a M8 and a K161 starter generator, will any of the work with out much fabrication. I know I'll have to do some wiring for it:scratchead: but that what I've got you guys for:handgestures-thumbupright:

If the k181 is the type with the bendix starter it might be able to work but with a smaller battery, I forget who but someone did it with lawn ranger a few months ago

If you go with the M8, the wiring gets simpler - both are magneto ignition, yes??

I happen to really like S/G so the K161 S/G would be my choice,  Either M8 or k181 you will have battery clearance issues and for some reason the smaller motorcycle batteries are expensive.
