can this generator be fitted with an electric start

No, mine generally hits on first pull if I remember to set choke and have switch in run position. I crank it about once every one to two months to keep it ready. Only use NON ETHENOL gas in it! ! !

I am sorry but I can't give you an accurate answer. The generator has never been used. Actually I have never taken it out of its box. But it is still available and I hope someone can answer your question.

Our trusty builder friend and I picked this generator out. Even tho we've had it for maybe a year, we havent had to use it but we tested it. it has electric push starter and a pull chain which is how you start it.

I prefer using the pull start instead of the electric start. Change the oil, and spark plug as per the manual's instructions. Also, either store the generator without fuel in the tank, and drain the fuel lines, or add fuel stabilizer to keep the fuel from varnishing, which is bad.

Yes, that's what this design. When generator starts should not be connected all the charging at the same time. Why generator may be damaged.

This model does not have an electric start. I have had no problem starting the engine but there have been numerous issues with the self propel mechanism not working. Customer service was very poor. Please note that the customer is responsible for paying shipping costs to get the unit repaired (even it is still under warranty).

Yes, though with a bit of trickery. I installed a hard start capacitor in my Dometic AC unit. Without it, the generator would trip because of the high initial load. The hard start capacitor worked like magic.

Wal-Mart had them when I bought mine. Really, all you need to do is measure the battery rack and then find one to fit that's 12v. That's the only real criteria.Also, for what it's worth, if you keep Sta-Bil or some other fuel stabilizer in the gas and start it once a month, you really don't need the electric starter. When I assembled mine, I added the oil, gasoline and followed the starting procedure as spelled out in the manual. I went from dry shipping to running like a top in ONE Pull of the recoil starter. It's that simple.

Yes, I bought this battery for precisely that purpose. It starts the generator just fine.

I don't think there is an electric start model. I have the model with the assisted start which helps a lot. I am 77 and have no problem starting my Mantis.

If the 15 amp device is something big to start, It will not. I cant use my 15 amp compressor (Ridgid) using this 3500 W Champion Generator.

Yes you can! Just start it and run your extension cords to what ever you need! what I did was incorporate it into my household electric breaker box. So when the power goes off for any amount of time...I can just plug the generator into the house....don't have to use any extension cords throughout the house. Make sense? No door cracked open for cords etc.

Yes, as long as it is electric start - otherwise there is another kit that includes a battery. Thanks. Ginger

No. But I installed the electric starter from the blown motor I was replacing and it works great.

Yes it has electric start with a charged battery included, and a manual pull start backup.

It does not have electric start. The red button is just to press a few times to get the fuel going. Then you have to pull the string to start it.

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!
