Hi
My starter button is not working after 9 months. Does the general service that is required to be done, affect the starter? It is the electric start, how do have it repairer?

Check that your battery is not flat, it could need charging some of them don't charge the battery at all and some do not supply enough DC voltage to charge properly.

I decided that I am not paying R900 to replace a battery that only gets used twice per year when I do preventative maintenance. I simply use the pull start, 3 pulls and it's thumping away.

I always instead of just switching the gennie off closed the fuel tap and let the carburettor run dry till the engine stops. Then there is no residue that can gum up the carb so it starts perfectly after 3 or 4 pulls even if it is months later.
Usually the ladies want the battery start if they have to start the gennie...
