Go to Harbor Freight and buy an 18 volt battery and charger for there electric drill and wire it up to your starter. If my old starter can zing over my YS 120s and a DLE 30cc it should be able to roll over any engine you have or will have for some time.
Hand flipping also works very well. If your afraid of getting bit then a chicken stick works great too. Hand starting is what we did before we had electric starters.
