What parts needed for adding electric start

"HI, Ya'll,

i'm new

"HI, Ya'll,

i'm new to the forum & the PROUD new owner of a longshaft 1979 Evinrude model 25905R (which has few hours of total use & was given to me last week)- it's been stored for YEARS, as the 1st owner passed away after a long illness.

it looks very nice,turns freely (with the sparkplugs removed) & seems to have good compression on both cylinders. the gas tank is (SURPRISE, SURPRISE!) both empty & CLEAN!

so what's the problem??? ===> i'm over 60YO & with arthritis in my shoulders & arms, i have a hard time trying to crank it.

so what i'd like to know is does anyone here have a "list" of what parts are needed to convert a "manual start" to an "electric start".
(fyi, due to being near the ocean & many people don't FLUSH their OBs, there are LOTS of "dead" motors around here to strip for parts.)

thanks, tex"

"There are a very large number

"There are a very large number of parts that are different.

Look at the pars lists for that engine at

But look through all the parts lists because you will find parts listed that you might overlook otherwise.

I regret to say I doubt if it is a realistic proposition"

"VicS,

THANKS for the input

"VicS,

THANKS for the input & link.

that's PITY. i had visions of finding a similar DEAD/salt-eaten{ Evinrude/Johnson 25 & simply putting on the relevant electric start parts.
