Thanks John. Though now that I have started it I don't' think I will need an electric start [another reason for the wife to keep me around!]. Turns out the whole problem is that the machine came back from the service center with [it would seem] not enough oil to let it start more than once, as I assume they must have run it at the shop. At any rate all is well at the moment. Full of fresh fuel with Seafoam stabilizer and awaiting a hurricane I hope does not come. BillR

If your flywheel has teeth you will just have to get the starter, mounting brackets, hardware, cables and battery.
