Answer
 Hello Zach:

 Does this Engine have a Low Oil Shutoff? Does the Engine have the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid in the Base of the Carburetor? Go to this Addy http://www.honda-engines-eu.com/en/service/spareparts/heepartscatalogue/index.js... and Select the Model and Type for you Engine. Then Click Search. Is the Gas Free Flowing to the Carburetor? You can Also Send them an E-Mail about the Conversion Kit for Electric Start. I haven't Heard or Seen Any such Kits. Hope this helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks. Be Safe.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
