Would anyone happen to know if it is possible to hook up an electric starter on this generator? A remote start?

I am not sure if u can install a starter on this model but they do have this same model number with an si at the end witch comes with a remote electric start

I really don't know. Mine always starts quickly and I've never had any problems with it. I would suggest calling up the manufacturer of the generator.

You might want to consult an electrician on that question. We only use the generator to charge the battery on our rv.

I don't know. I read the instructions and the porta jump wont help if the battery, starter or the generator is bad. it will only work if you left the lights on and the battery drained

As was stated it is a good idea. Just make sure that the wire from the inlet is also sized for 50 ampAnother option instead of using an adapter would be to get a cord made up with the right ends for the generator to the inlet

Yes. If the electric starter does not start the generator after several attempts, try and start the generator using the recoil. Once the engine is running, let it run for several hours. It will charge the battery while it's running. If the battery does not hold a charge, then you will need to replace the battery. The battery needs to be charged routinely or you can keep the battery on a trickle charger.

i still have my brand new one that is not working....they ask me to send it to a corporated store in Miami...i am in the bahamas...I repared the first one but not this one....so I have to pay for transport to «Miami and then if it only a bad connection that I didn't find I will have to pay for the work at the shop.Hello this is a brand new generator...so I think I will have to buy another from another compagny...a tri-fuel one or gazoline one that I could change the carburator for propane with a kit...that I already did it a few times and it work good.....Pierre

nah, make one. They're good generators. I've had three. Get you a metal finger nail file to keep the spark plug clean. It'll serve you well...

Yes it does. It should be able to start it up right out of the box. This reminds me, I need to order another one because I put the one that I bought into my electric generator.

The engine itself is NOT electric start. However, you could get an electric starter from a B&S; supplier (basically, it adds a circuit that energizes the generator to turn the crank.

Yes, with a 3000mah battery or greater and in 5-7 second intervals! If starter is held for to long 550 motor will turn inside and twist wiring due to over heating! Hope this helps and have a blast!

The module can supply a pulse, but you will need additional relays and an electrician to hook that up. I dont have remote start installed.

Yes you can inject the starter relay with voltage and the starter should turn over. This tool will inject ground and voltage into any 12 volt DC system

hey Icepuck, did this work? Could you do same with a battery charger I am wondering? Im trying to run 12v lights off a generator and trying to find a solution... FF here too and rigging out a response trailer..

I've started mine both ways. The manual pull is pretty easy. I like having the electric start as backup.

I don't believe you will need to do anything . Just make certain the neutral is disconnected from the power company by means of a positive discinnect to avoid back feed . I purchased the transfer switch , tie in receptical etc from Amazon when I got the generator. Lowes sells the same generator for about $100 bucks more. The transfer switch and load enter was by Reliance.

First, I have two of these engines and because they start soooo easily, never considered an electric start.Second, the starting mechanism (rope pull) is designed for a specific flywheel that I don't believe has an electric starting ring. To convert would be expensive!
