Adding a charging system electric start

[buster01]

Can someone advise me the parts necessary to add a charging system and an electric start to my 1988 20hp Johnson Model J20CRCC?

Is this difficult/ first the charging system and then the electric srart.

You might want to try this in the johnnyrude section instead. Was your motor / powerhead available with electric start and a charging system?

Yes it was

Does the flywheel on your motor have teeth on the outside for the starter to engage?
There were 3 flywheels that year: no teeth, 74 teeth and 76 teeth. That would be the first thing to try to get. Which starter to get depends on which flywheel is found. The 76 gets a 9-tooth starter, while the 74 gets an 11 tooth starter.
Then you'd need the starter bracket, solenoid, and switch.
Charging system would need a stator and rectifier.
None of this is cheap, by the way. The easiest way is to find a trashed electric start engine and rob it of parts.

Just checked the motor, the flywheel does not have any teeth. I guess I will leave it alone and use it as is. Can I still add a charging system to run lights etc?
