One thing that many people do not realize is that the generator/alternator do not power the vehicle, no matter what type of vehicle it is.
On almost every vehicle using a system like this, the battery is what powers everything, period. The alternator simply charges the battery back to where it should be.
Can you start some vehicles like this and drive them without a battery? Yes but not for long or often.
Might get a garden tractor or motorcycle battery to use in the thing. It would take care of the ignition and such and the generator would have something to work with.

Pull rope? Good luck, with the spring involved it could be a handful!
