Well, here's the starter I bought when I first got into this 8 years ago, it still works very well, and I've started engines up to 1.20 four strokes without trouble.

I would highly recommend that you get a 7 amp battery, rather than the 4.5 amp you linked to.

The other option for a battery pack for the starter would be to buy two 6 cell RC car battery packs and wire them into the starter. They can be mounted to the bottom easily, and will work very well. In order to do that, you would have to get a manual (hand cranked) fuel pump.
This one would be fine.

The glow igniter you linked to would be fine. You will also need about 3 feet of fuel line, an extra prop or two, and an extra glow plug in case (OS A3 plug would be good).

Best of luck,
