Default Electric start / pull start

Has anyone adapted an electric start to a quad that only has a pull start system? We've a Suzuki Lt125 1986 which only came out with the pull start & I'm getting to old to yank the cord every time I want to go fishing. Maybe getting lazy as well as old. Cheers

i remember seeing a pic of another member's 230s that had an electric start motor mounted on a custom cover over the pull rope's original location.... so i guess it can be done...

Your 125 is a collectors piece. Put it up in the garage and get yourself a nice new machine with -->suspension<--..If your getting to old to pull, you'll need a softer ride also..
I'll be 52 Sunday..Sucks getting old, I'll be needing a slow 4 stroke soon..

Love the quad, I purchased that one as it's easy for me to lift & move around on my own, also fits perfectly on the back of the Navara I have I just have to remember to hit the break & not the rear panel on the ute when I ride it on. .I see you're another Aries I'm in my mid 50's & another year younger on the 27th. Thanks for viewing

Thanks for that, did take a look. By the time I pay for freight & part it'll be more than I've paied for the 2 quads. Only hard part when you live in a Country so far away from everyone else. Cheers Texas

I don't believe there is an e-start on the LT125, unless it's a newer model. From my recollection the choke is on the "dash", pull out style. There is also a primer on the left side of the carb.
