RE: A starter...
CRAP! Forgot to bring the thing home today from work! Will try to remember tomorrow. Anyway, I can't imagine an electric motor being any good for charging the battery it runs off of. Thats the old........perpetual energy/motion idea. Wouldn't work. Thats why cars have an alternator, there is always less electricity being used than there is going in.
It's why for my truck I am to get a tiny 12v battery to hook to the engines stator, and it should be strong enough to recharge the battery since I am only using it to start the truck, run the radio gear, and maybe some lights.
