Francis,
Last weekend I replaced my 20 year old BBQ grill with a new one. It has 
the self start sparker but this one is a little different. You unscrew 
the push knob and put a AA battery inside and screw the knob back 
together. You hold the button in and get spark-spark-spark. About 2 or 3 
sparks per second as long as you hold the button in. Have no idea how 
long the battery will last but I was thinking this would make a heck of 
a high tension devise to put in a empty EK or PR Wico case. Or perhaps 
even a starting device. Pull the flywheels up against compression as far 
as you can and hit the sparker. Bang she's off and running. Might be a 
useful starting tool for really big engines or for guys that no longer 
have the strength to pull one thru.
Maybe these have been around, but the only ones I was familiar with were 
the one spark per push/click type without the battery.
