The starter on the one I work on is nothing more than a starter motor 
with a rubber wheel that contacts the flywheel.

How about an AC motor with a rubber tire on the shaft. Make a simple 
mount so you can hold it tight to the flywheel.
Get the engine turning over and started. Then let it charge the batteries.

IF you have the original glass batteries with the rubber seals they are 
easy to clean out. If they are the later tar sealed ones they are not as 
easy but the tar is a PIA.
