Surely you have some small one man type mower repair shops around which would likely have a bunch of good used flywheels cheap for these obsolete engines plus the stator and starter which are very interchangeable between a wide range of B&S Engines. Large shops generally do not want to fool with used parts. You are right, you would not have the magnets in your flywheel to charge the battery.
