"Rambler, that's a Yamaha

"Rambler, that's a Yamaha built, "A" model, 1984.

You can put electric start on it, but would require a new flywheel (with teeth), starter, solenoid, cables etc - cost from Merc - well over 1500 bucks and would have to dig because some parts are discontinued.

You could maybe try Yamaha, but if you really want an electric start, probably cheaper to sell yours and buy a used one already rigged..."
