Abstract

An economical gas powered starting system is provided for relatively small, consumer operated implements powered by two or four cycle internal combustion engines. A low cost, radial piston starter motor is coupled to a liquified gas energy cell by a metering arrangement which charges a predetermined amount of gas to the motor, just sufficient to start the engine in its operating environment. The system and motor design disclosed develops torque-speed-time characteristics insuring excellent starter reliability.
