[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 443360, member: 7376"] Seems like about 25 times a year I get calls from folks wanting to convert their manual start to electric start. And the general conscensus is that it costs as much to convert one as it does to buy another one that already has electric start. Plus, you get the advantage of a factory electric start motor having an alternator (usually), the correct relay(s), starter, bracketry, wiring, lower pan (hole for switch), neutral start, etc. I personally wouldn't buy a manual start motor unless it's dirt cheap, knowing that a majority of people want electric start, which makes a manual start motor's value considerably less than the electric version. I also realize that some motors aren't available with electric start (yamaha 25MSHV3 and 25MSHU2 are good examples)-but those are considered novelty motors now because of their age. [/QUOTE]
