Frankly speaking i don't quite catch what your real meaning is...

There are request for MOKI 5 cyc radial start system, i do not own that engine, a bit difficult to start designing without things in hand, unless a full technical drawing of the engine mechanical is available.
I can't imagine a small 5 cyl. 4 stroke with a starter too. That would be the ultimate.........
Yup, that'll be very good indeed. Those 'warbird' people will love it! The only problem that i can see is the additional weight. Bigger engine, yes you still add some weight but the actual fraction of it is still small compared to the weight of the engine. With smaller engine however the additional weight maybe close to half of the weight of the engine itself if not higher...
But in the end you'll never know because latest alloy material properties, one can get a very strong system without sacrificing weight. For example to reduce weight while maintaining strength and durability, the final drive gear maybe made of titanium? And i believe everyone here knows the cost of that material...
Whatever it is, i love engineering challenges. The more difficult the problem is, the higher the drive to get it solved. I read somewhere in this engine forum who were asking to the rest of the community for ideas on developing 2 stroke engine with 50HP rating, many of the responses that were posted read something like "why go thru all the trouble when you can get it of the shelves?". I said to myself, "too bad...". We all should be more supportive towards this kind of initiatives, it breaks the box which compounded our typical way of thinking, and who knows that guy could come out with something brilliant?
