Alright then, it looks like I order the cover for a medium sized generator.
What about the electric start kit? I don't see those listed on the champion website.
Champion does not offer the e-start as an add on kit. It must come from a 2nd vendor site. I think there are still several on e-Bay offering the kit - Honda 160GX to 200GX is the base designation. SuperGen Products told me over a year ago they were going to offer a kit but it does not appear on their website. You may want to call and ask if they have it.
While a full kit may be convenient, you can complete a satisfactory conversion with ONLY the outer gear ring flywheel and starter. The new shroud with the bubble for the starter is nice but unnecessary as the OEM shroud is easily cut. The charge coil under the flywheel is IMHO a waste of time. The key switch is not needed as is a second transition pack. Use the RV battery to start. The rest is available at most any automotive or home store.
I did a conversion article years back - don't remember where it is, but somewhere on this thread it does exist.
