Hey all. Just a few questions on engine starters.
Did you buy yours or make it yourself? If you bought it, are there any sites to get some ideas from?
I'm going to try to assemble my own, on the cheap, to start my engines instead of using a pull start. I have a briggs starter motor with a bare shaft and a 12v 7ah battery. If 7ah isnt high enough, I also have a 17ah to use. I'm going mount it all to a base plate and put handles on it with a switch to turn it on and off.
I'm planning on welding a 3/8" socket extender onto the shaft to be able to use sockets on the end of it. Just gotta make sure that it is centered. I may also try to shave the shaft down to 1/4" square and put a 1/4" to 3/8" size-up adapter on it and then weld that in place.
