G'day Mate,
In days gone by, the only problem with using electric starters, all the time, was that the back plate showed signs of wear, from the crankshaft being pushed back by the use of electric starters, & this could cause a problem, with metal shavings inside the motor, on rare occasions, of course, usually from turning the motor over for long periods, to get it started. But these days I rarely use my electric starter, because my motors start so easily, as most do, so don't worry about it, as you will find, some things, get used less & less as time goes on, but we still keep em around! Just in case!
PS, Use some rubber hose on your chicken stick, & save those prop edges.
