I added an electric starter to my lawnmower

[URY914]

I broke the spring in the pull-the-cord starter. I pulled the top off and saw a big nut on the flywheel. So I thought.......what if I..........

As soon as it starts sputtering to start I pull it off. SO MUCH better this way.

P.S. Someone gave me the mower for nuttin'. Yes, I'm a CSOAB.

love the duct tape on the extension cord.

Did some thing similar using a cordless Bosch drill.

I swear I remember something to that same effect advertised (back in the late 70's/early 80's?). Something like a rubber disk that you chucked into your drill to start the mower... I have searched and have not been able to find it though. Product liability killed it? No demand? Seems like a good idea to me!

I'm glad to see someone else do this too

My mower was a free be too. Compression is pretty low, takes a bit to spin it up, once it starts works just fine. My kind of recycle and reuse.

I KNEW I would get busted for that.

We'd have to use a cordless drill on our place.... Cords wouldn't reach it all...

Cool!! Necessity is the mother of invention... or something like that...

Nice! Any other performance mods planned? Headers?

[wdfifteen]

Sweet! I love the concept. The modest use of Kentucky chrome on the extension cord is a tasteful plus. I hate it when inventive geniuses rely on cliche'd motifs too heavily.

They use em on boat generators, last time I checked, cost just under $2K

[URY914]

just under $2k is just under $2k too much.

Paul, are you sure you're not from New Zealand.

I wonder if that flat fan will fit my 911?

Does the wife know they're cubic zirconia?

From the drill holder- southpaws are reputed to be more creative.
