[AT] Adding electric start

[ATIS]

Thanks Dean and Greg.   I did find the catalog but my model was not listed.  However another page on their site indicated it was available for my model.    I will call today.   The starter kit includes the flywheel but no charging (stator), switches, battery, solenoids, etc.

As for the electric start model:  Like most guys, it never occurred to me I needed one (-;    Plus, I bought this brand new but at an auction at quite a discount.   Electric start would have cost me about $900 and not just $200.

Thanks again!
