That turned out to be a gear wheel of 15cm that I imagine is for engaging with starter handle. Have been quoted €200 for a 20" gear wheel that could apparently be fitted to the flywheel. It's expensive I think and don't even see how it would fit

Amazingly, have just seen a toothed flywheel on ebay. Does anyone know how difficult replacing a flywheel might be?

Thanks for the suggestions. Much as I love projects, I've already got a list ahead of me that is frightening. Also all the belts and pulleys look a bit deadly to fingers and doggies tails. I'm able to start my ac1 with the manual handle but the wife isn't so a simple starter motor option is all im looking for at this stage.  Maybe even with a 240v battery charger to keep the battery alive... am in Ireland and don't see any cheap electric start ac1s listed anywhere...

There's always the old golf cart starter/generator option.

Hi, not sure what you mean by this?

I have a starter motor that should fit. The flywheel is currently smooth. Am concerned that if I machine the flywheel it might cause it to become unbalanced

Hi, i have an ac1 generator with manual start handle. I'd like to covert this to electric start but would need to replace the flywheel with a toothed one. Has anyone done this or know availability of toothed flywheels? Thanks
