Goldnboy 1,034 #1 Posted October 5, 2019 I have searched the forums and have had no luck in determining what parts are needed for changing the recoil start to electric? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,068 #2 Posted October 6, 2019 What type of ignition system does it have? Many pull start engines have a magneto ignition and no charging system. If that is the case you will need a flywheel with a ring gear, stater and regulator as well as the starter itself and battery ignition components. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 60,068 #4 Posted October 6, 2019 Your best bet would be to buy another engine that has everything you need and swap the parts from it. Buying individual parts and pieces can be very costly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,117 #5 Posted October 6, 2019 Another option is to go starter generator since that engine won't have charging coils. A large pulley for the pto shaft side and some other brand tractors used the shaft side for the SG. It needs to turn the correct direction. Give it a good tune up with carb clean and static timing set of the points, if it starts right up on a pull or two just use it as is with the pull start. Keeps it simple and easy.
