You may want to consider looking for an electric start donor motor. It may be cheaper than buying all the individual parts.

Yes, I thought about that, but whatever I find, if it is not running (and thus a "donor" candidate), I cannot count on the parts I need being functional, can I? It would be good for mechanical purposes (such as brackets), but not sure there would be enough to warrant the trouble/expense. I bought my current parts motor for $80, and that included the pressurized tank (with the infamous rare hose fitting).
