    Need to electric start 25hp Mercury with out controls

    I need to electric start a 1999 - 25hp Mercury with out the controls to sell it. I?m thinking a ?store bought remote start box? exists or I can make one. I can use the manual choke. Sorry if this subject has been ?hammered?; not finding an obvious thread with a search.

    Potential problems with ?new motor? not run for multiple years?
