Tecumseh HM100 Starter

[Boyde from Brampton]

I have a HM100 powering a generator. It came as a recoil start, but has the mounting holes for a starter. I purchases a 12V starter for the HM100.

I look in the hole where the starter will go and I see no teeth on the flywheel.

I do not understand how the teeth on the starter will engage the flywheel if there are no teeth.

Did Tecumseh make models of the HM100 which will not accept a starter?
