starter under 10 pounds for university

[44oEX]

Ok at university we are building a small 3 wheeled car for a super millage competition. ( gas millage ) anyway the motor is a small 3.5 HP briggs & straton ( he have to use it as a base ) but we plan on putting to use a wipper sniper motor sort of in it. ( minus the case.

Anyway the samllest starter motor we could find is a 10 pound starter.

Where can I find something really small ( light ) it will unly turn a 31cc motor. I looked at atv's lawn mowers but nothing it under that. all 8-11 pounds.

Please help

My friend has a tiny snowblower in his garage with an electric start. Couldn't be any more than 50cc.

Well, that probably didn't help you, just thought I'd share.

i would use a pull start for it... i mean... thats a tiny engine...
is it in the rules that it need electric start?

well I don'T need electic start but the motor is in the back of the car an you are in front there is a fire wall in between. this thing is really small






sorry for the bad angles but you can get the idea of how small this thing really is.

yeah I know but it's not a big enough difference I need one that would be like 3-4 pounds or even less.

We have to use the 3.5HP briggs & straton motor. But we can modify it anyway we want. We can do like 400Miles/gallon.
And we only get 500ml for a 15 mile run. then they weight your tank.
