[QUOTE="Boat2fast, post: 355852, member: 13358"] Adding a recoil pull-start to an electric start motor gets very involved. You may want to start off with a similar year parts-motor with pull start. Even the cover has to be changed. This could mean paint and decals. The recoil mounts will likely have to be changed to solid mounts which can be ordered from the factory. This is necessary to clear the flywheel. I have done all this before and it gets very involved. The neutral start interlock and the neutral safety switch all have to be found and installed. If not, the whole engine becomes a disaster waiting to happen. Some of these can be found in the Electric Start Kit parts breakdown. I didn't see if you mentioned whether you are running tiller or remote control. This will change things too. This all gets very involved... The emergency pull rope may look like the best option here, unless you are very determined. [/QUOTE]
