Is there any word on availability of retrofit electric start option from CPE? Is there a website that they will show up on one day that I should be monitoring?
Thanks
There is a new company that is just getting started called SuperGen Products.
The folks behind the company and I had a nice visit when I was in Louisville at THE RALLY.
What SuperGen Products hopes to do is provide a large assortment of add-on's and accessories for the portable generator market - in particular the Chinese generators that most of us own. The electric start conversion kit is one of the items on their menu. I do not know if they have it ready to go yet or not, but my understanding is that it will include all of the parts to complete the conversion for under $100. This is comparable to the kit I bought last year from a Canadian supplier. I believe Floyd also purchased the same kit.
The only problem I had with the kit from the Canadian supplier was the shipping cost and the time it took to arrive. When you are mailing a flywheel and starter motor the weight adds up. Hopefully, the shipping on a kit from a New York company will be less and arrive in less time.
Anyway, I hope SuperGen Products can deliver what they envision. There is a tremendous need for accessory products to support the variety of Chinese gensets available. Drop them an e-mail and see what the status of their kit is.
