Electric start

[Auto Doc's]

This comes back to what I mentioned earlier about keeping treated gas in the fuel tank for starting and warmup, then shut the gasoline fuel valve off. As the engine dies down, open the propane tank valve and run it on propane. It is a pretty smooth transition.

For mine, I did not want to go through the expense or the hassle of adding electric start on this small 5500/8250 Watt generator of mine, especially after the cost of just fitting it with all of the propane kit

I have my generator full of fuel and the cover is not easy to access for the numbers.

I did look up a B&S 10HP snow blower engine and came up with a model 20D414-0017-E1

It shows to have an electric start flywheel 695485 on Parts Tree

Is this a generator application? Hard to tell from the picture.

Is a 1 or 2 pull to start that challenging? If so, the carburetor is likely dirty from old Ethanol fuel and sitting for months at a time.

Converting one of these engines cost more than buying a new engine already equipped with electric start. (Depending on the engine application)

Next problem is where do you plan to mount the battery and run the starter cables?

The old "ethanol" trope.

Hello R.,

Apparently, you get better ethanol blend fuel than I do down here in South Texas. The constant high temps down here breaks down the fuel in most everything that sits and has a carburetor.
