Model engine interlock end start converter

A model-engine interlock-end start converter comprising:

• a converter package;
• the converter package containing a replacement start shaft, a converter ring, fasteners and assembly instructions;
• the replacement start shaft having a clutch portion that is cylindrical with an outside periphery articulated for engagement by one-way clutching members proximate an inside periphery of an inside one-way clutch;
• the conversional engine including PICCO®, NOVAROSSI® and HPI EVOLUTION II® and other model engines of a same class;
• the inside one-way clutch having an outside periphery in rotational contact with an inside periphery of a rear adaptor and having a crank plate on a crankshaft end in rotational contact with a crank axle to which a connecting rod of a piston is connected pivotally in the conversional model engine;
• the converter sleeve being articulated to position a Traxxas® electric starter on the conversional model engine;
• and
• the fasteners being attachment bolts having lengths and machine threads for fastening the electric starter to the rear-adaptor plate.

A model-engine interlock-end start converter comprising:

• a replacement start shaft, a converter sleeve, a converter ring and converter fasteners;
• the replacement start shaft having a clutch portion that is cylindrical with an outside periphery articulated for engagement by one-way clutching members proximate an inside periphery of an inside one-way clutch of a conversional model engine;
• the inside one-way clutch having an outside periphery in rotational contact with an inside periphery of a rear adaptor of the conversional model engine and having a crank plate on a crankshaft end in rotational contact with a crank axle of a split crankshaft to which a connecting rod of a piston is connected pivotally in the conversional model engine;
• the replacement start shaft having an interlock end with interlock members articulated to interlock with a rotational coupling of a predetermined electric starter for a model engine;
• the converter sleeve being articulated to position the electric starter in predetermined proximity to the rear adaptor for interlocking contact of the interlock members and the rotational coupling;
• the electric starter is fastened to the rear adaptor with the converter fasteners;
• the converter sleeve is light with thin walls proximate an outside periphery of a rear-adaptor plate on the rear adaptor predeterminedly;
• the converter ring is positioned circumferentially internal from the converter sleeve and extended intermediate the rear-adaptor plate and the electric starter;
• and
• the converter fasteners are articulated to fasten the electric starter to the rear-adaptor plate and to maintain the converter sleeve and the converter ring intermediate the electric starter and the rear-adaptor plate.
