I think that since I have to get a whole new starter assembly for this motor that I may take the old one and try to modify it to an electric drive. I figure that all I really need to do is find a good 12v motor with the right amount of torque and fab a mount to the bottom of the mount plate for the plastic drive gear. I just need some input on what kind of torque I will need. A little wiring finess to a starter pushbutton switch and I should be good to go, huh? -woody74
