[SEL] IHC Famous "Could you...."

[R & M Ingold]

Mike, I had a Jack Junior that I ran, including starting, with a auto fan 
motor with a rubber roller on the shaft, that was mounted with spring 
pressure against the bottom of one flywheel.
Also, there were dc generators made to be fitted to do away with batteries.
The primary windings of an HT mag will supply enough power to fire an 
igniter too. So, a  mag  with stuffed secondary windings can be used with 
minor internal mods.
Lastly, there are a lot of AC low tension generators, called LT Mags.
any one can be fitted with a chain or gear drive to your engine.
