See full version: Convert Honda 20hp to electric start
Honda has never been very helpfull with conversion kits.So consequently you will need to part this out by indivual parts .That means a new flywheel ,starter,harness,tiller handle,starter relay,etc,etc.Not a cheap conversion once you add it all up plus the labor to put it all together.Why do it with an engine this easy to pull over?
Re: Convert Honda 20hp to electric start?
Well I thought if it wasn't too expensive it would be worth the effort as it would allow my wife to use our inflatable. It's just a bit too much for her to pull over. I priced out the parts and it's getting close to a thousand dollars to convert, so unless I can find some 2nd hand stuff I'll just let the idea go. Thanks for the reply though. more

PGM Ignition For Optimal Operation
A reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range. This provides optimum overall operation. more
Portable, Fuel Efficient, And Powerful
Some manufacturers impose minimum advertised price restrictions. If we lower the price of an item to a certain level, we can only show that price in the cart. If you change your mind about the item, simply remove it from your cart. The savings are worth a few extra clicks.
EZ Steer Friction Control
A unique lever design allows you to precisely adjust steering tension for improved control and comfort. here
The BF20 also features an integrated warning system, designed to protect the engine from severe damage due to low oil, over-revving or overheating. [links]
And while conventional two-circuit carburettors go directly from a lean mixture at idle to a rich setting at full throttle, the BF20 adds a third, middle stage for better economy and smoother, stronger operation. [links]
Programmed Ignition (PGM-IG) also accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire rev range for optimum overall operation. A 12amp (electric start) alternator also ensures excellent charging power to keep batteries in top condition.
With a high output 350cc displacement and long-stroke design, the BF20 is a top performer, providing optimum torque at any speed.
Cruising is improved and more comfortable with Honda's unique pendulum-motion mounting system. This system is specially designed to reduce vibration and maximise user comfort. more
The BF20 is equipped with Power Tilt and Gas Assist Tilt variations - perfect for effortless engine tilt operations and shallow-water running.
