I use my Craftmans 18v portable drill. You can use any protable drill as long as it is 14v or higher. I went to the hobby shop and bought a metal replacement cone & rubber cone insert. I attached them to my drill and I can start engines from 18cc to 45cc with it. I have not tried anything larger then that. With the drill set to reverse it spins the engines about 300 rpm witch makes for very easy starting. Go to this site and see one being used to start a 38cc Mac. http://www.scottellingson.com/store_024.htm
