Are you talking about modifying it to have an electric start? it originally comes with Johnson part number 383031....You can find the original rewind starter Assembly on ebay for around $300. Not sure of an answer if you mean switching that out for an electric starter.

The pull starter it has works fine. I'm thinking of using this as a trolling motor. My 72 yo shoulder has rotator cuff issues and I'd rather not be pulling starter cords.
