Dude,
Did you notice the groove in the spinner hub in the motor? I think that is for a belt. Most Starter motors have a groove in them too to receive the belt. Pull tension on the belt and spin the motor and it will turn the engine over. This is how they start them in the boats if they don't have pull starters.
Have Fun,
Curtis
