Electric start option?

Hi Mark

the only 2 i know of are the Alton (from France but resold by Andover, and others) or the Old Britts one from the US.

Alton would be favourite i expect and comes with its own alternator rotor/stator.

I am part way through fitting one at moment, but ended up getting a PW3 cam while at it and as these things do it is all taking a while.

Hi. I believe it is possible to fit an electric start kit on a 1972 (combat) but wonder if anyone has done this and if so what would be the best kit to fit, also would the electrics/stator require an upgrade?

Thanks Mark.

Thanks Iain. Will look into that.

Hi Mark

Check out Alton's useful video for fitting their "eKit" . I've run one in my 1969 Commando "S" Type (sacrilege to some I accept?) for the past 6 months and am very pleased with the result. As Iain says above, it comes with it's own new alternator stator etc.

Well she makes it look very easy. Sacrilege some may rightlysay but having squashed my foot recently thusmaking starting a touch painful i am prepared to take the stick. Thanks Peter.
