B&S Elite Series add electric start.
 

Has anyone had a B&S Elite Series generator apart? I would like to try and add electric start to it, so mom could use it at the farm. I would assume a starter ring could be added to the flywheel. I don't want to start pulling things apart until I find some good info.

What are the numbers on the engine?

6bsxs.342ht276454 I tried doing searches and didn't have much luck.

Those numbers don't work. Need more info.

On a bar code 051208YE79569

Let me say this,
peek into the cover to see if the flywheel has a ring gear, would be the first step.
Some engines have one, others don't, hard to say not being familiar with your particular engine.:bigthink:

Go here to find the number.

It may also l be stamped on the OHV cover.

Thanks for the video. Found the numbers. 205412/0205E1/051208YE Part number for the Flywheel with starter ring. 794812. Took a peek and no ring. I guess for now i'll leave things alone. Unless I find a deal.

watch the 'net, sometimes engines/parts pop up on ebay
