I have been gifted a non-running Honda EM 6500 sx generator. It has pull start and electric start capabilities. If I have no battery connected and just use pull-start, can I just cut off the plunger on the solenoid? The guy who gave it to me said it started easily with the pull start before he let it sit a couple of yrs. I don't see me ever using a battery since it will be mainly used for the occasional power outage. I guess the solenoid wouldn't work if it didn't have a battery.
