Hi Noam,

Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia. I have BSA M20 and would like to have electric starter conversion like you did on your M20. Could you help to share some tips and if there is a kit available in the Market would you also let me know.

Thank you,
Dimas

Taking in to account the high electrical load of a starter motor how will it be powered and what size battery would be fitted?..Ian

My B33 fitted with a Pearson electric start uses a 12.5 amp battery. This fits into the place of the standard battery.

Hello Ian, Dimas.

I see that I did not upload the photos then...
I do not have photos now, but I will try to ask for it.

As mentioned, it is not me with this project, but a buddy.

I uploaded his clip demonstrating it:

The starter motor in located under the left footrest you can see in the clip.
If I am not mistaken, the starter is out of Honda magna 750, which he reversed the rotating direction,
and it connects directly to the crank via a directional coupler. (Like a ratchet action)

This is as much as I recall, but I will try to get more info.

He does not use the exhaust valve lifter when starting, (The bike has a good compression)
And the battery is 12V, 12 or 14 AH.

Cheers,
Noam.

OK, I will try to have photos and And any other details and post it.

Noam.
