Electric Start added to 13 HP Honda Engine

[ri702bill 8,933]

This engine is from a power washer I was gifted last year. Runs great, but is a handfull to start when cold. Like a generator, there is no clutch device to remove the drag when you pull the rope.

Found this complete conversion kit, seperate battery and holder on the jungle site. Had to holesaw the opening for the Bendix drive (the correct diameter is there in the casting, just not thru). Had to tap four existing holes for the charging coil, wire guide, and switch box. Works great, looks like it grew there. And, the original rope start is retained & functional...
