A 3/4" socket, I'm sure there must be a metric size that fits, chucked up to my DeWalt cordless drill makes an effective electric starter for a Champion 3500/4000, when your rope start break. Remove the recoil starter, Set the drill to turn to the right put the socket on the flywheel nut and pill the trigger. As soon as the engine fires, quickly pull the socket off.
19 mm is same as 3/4" SAE
Word of warning though - Be sure the cordless drill you use is not powerful enough to turn the flywheel nut (no impact tools). I broke (cracked) a flywheel on one of these engines by over tightening the flywheel nut. Also note when the engine starts you must pull the socket off of the nut very quickly as there is usually no ratchet or clutch in the drill to create a release.
