Default RE: Electric starter for 50cc engine ?

Once upon a time in a land far far away I won a door prize that was an ACE pull cord starter. It was about as useless as t*** on a boar hog. One day when my mind was in idle I spotted this device in my corner trash can. HARK, I might be able to make an electric starter out of this device since I already had a well broken in Craftsman drill motor. In about 30 minutes I had what you see in the photo. It has boo coo torque for starting a G62 but since my G62 has a "Jump Start" I have nothing to use it on. If I would keep my mind busy (computer, TV, yard work naaah......) I wouldn't have time for this foolishness.

This is also the case for another starter that I built from a Nippondenso geared V6 starter. At the time I had a Sachs-Dolmar 3.7 engine with a magneto. The finger guard really sets it off. This will easily spin a DA-150 but why?

I still stick with post # 3.
