Thank you very much for your replies.

I have a peak charger that I use to charge everything from 6 cell matched packs for cars to rechargeable AAs from the transmitter in my RC sail boat, so I have the battery angle covered quite well.

Little bottle to catch fuel...gotcha. I'll rig something up.

As for starter, can't I make a rubber attachment for a cordless drill? Seems to make a lot more sense then carrying around a big fat battery and a 12v starter. I have a 19.2v drill with a low speed torque setting that will start a V8.
