Electric Start

<< < (3/3)

gwcrim:
I'd LOVE to have an e-start but it's got to be very cost prohibitive.  I have my jug off and will be sending it here soon:

At least with this, it will start with sneakers like a 250 instead of steel shank boots.

if you did the work your self your looking at about $2,000 in new parts. you could then offset the cost by selling the 300 parts. you could easily get $1,000 out of all the parts removed. the guy that's attempting this still needs to slide the jug on with the crank installed to see how the deck height comes out. it could end up needing a spacer or some meat taken off the bottom of the jug. i have know idea how the e-start would handle high compression. i will try and find out how much compression the guys are making with the 300's.
