Answer
Sorry I can not help you with the electric start issue.  But yes you can run a snowmobile engine in the summer.  Just make sure it is open all the way around it and gets plenty of air flow.  Always make sure the cooling fins are clean. Also for your application you may want to figure out a way to mount an elecrtic fan to blow cool air on it. I hope this helps you.
