I was looking at my Lauson the other day and thought, why couldn't a kick start be mounted on it?
Well...
Necessity is the Mutha of invention they say... so I did it!
Was truly easy-peasy.
I mounted the starter pawl cup onto my Lauson's flywheel, then placed my kick-starter against the pawl cup, found there was a little bit of play, so to make sure I had a more accurate placement of the kick start mount, I placed a plastic cap over the pawl assy. of starter which took up excess play, and then marked shroud (flywheel cowl) with an extra fine sharpie.
I drilled and tapped holes using a fine (1/4 x 28 tap) and mounted 4 1/4 x 28 short bolts (grinded heads down a bit) to clear flywheel fins (12) of them.
I still needed clearance due to Lauson fins being incredibly close to cowl assy. so I ground about 1/16" off all 12 fins. DONE!
works great! I even used the Tecumseh flywheel nut, as it was same thread as Lawson and was lower height than the original Lauson nut.
See pics.
