Just a idea, is it do-able ?

I'm sure if you spent enough $$$$$ on it you could come up with something.

Kohler does make a 110v electric starter.

It fits this snow blower engine

How you would go about having both on the same engine I have no idea.

Lets think outside the box!!

Now, this is for winter use, right? Assist starting to ease the strain on the battery?

1) take out the grill
2) spin the engine with a socket, extension, and BMF electric drill plugged into 110VAC

Hmm, maybe switch to a 120v during the winter then back to 12v during summer instead of trying to rig both up?

I was thinking of using the 110 setup somehow stepping it down to 12 volt and I it on the starter. Would use the same button Thats on the 110 plug. I think getting it to 12 volts would be easy. But what about amperage? I dunno exactly what it would pull. And dont want to backfired he system with 10 times the amps it is suppost to handle. Lol. Just a idea I was thinking of when I was bored

It will pull as much amperage as it needs. Your battery has somewhere around 400(?) amps available to the system. To get that much 12v power is not going to come from a regular wall outlet. A good battery charger with the jump feature puts out 200 amps. My suggestion if you want to plug it in to start better is to plug it into a trickle charger when not in use.

Now my outside the box answer is too bad your a quiet line guy and don't have any with a starter generator. You could pop off the s/g and mount a 110v motor to the bracket. If it was a plow tractor you could make a bracket to back feed through the pto to start so the a/g would still power lights.

If you had a 110 volt starter on it unless you are contemplatiing on changing the available 12 volt DC to 110 AC to use the starter how would you get it going when you stall at the end of your drive or the far corner of the yard.

Thats why I was going to leave the existing system in place and drop the 110 down to 12 volt and hook it up along side. But sounds like the amperage is gonna be the biggest issue.
Like I said it was just a idea I have way to many projects going on as it is IF I ever get done with these I might look into it but it d osnt look promising to be a reliable system
