Starter

[PorscheLover]

i have a briggs 5hp flat head and i wanted to make it so i could start my go kart with a key by the steering wheel. I found a briggs and stratton starter part # 690658 how would i connect this set up? do i need a battery? do i need an alternator? What do i need? and how do i connect everthing?

Thanks

You need a special flywheel to connect the starter too. I think your block also needs to have the mounts for the electric starter. It might be more hassel to set up the starter than sell your current Briggs and find a older Briggs or Tecumseh snowblower with a electric starter already attached.
