Os 18 engine roto starter back plate

[Robertsgaz1]

Hi does anyone know if I can get a backplate roto starter for my 18 os engine ? They all seem to be 4 hole plates and the os is a 3 hole staggered backplate

Strange. All I can personally find are 4-holed backplates. It would help to post a photo of the engine.

The OS18 has an external o-way bearing ,I don't even use a pull start or a roto-start on mine ,I simply
use a the o-way bearing in a socket on my cordless drill to start mine ,in which is known as a yanker!....

Well ,it does depend on where the engine is located on your ride ,if the back of the engine is easily accessed on
the side of your ride ,then you can use a o-way bearing in a 1/4 drive 1/2 socket on a cordless drill!

I can show pics of what I have an use!...
