There is a company in chelmsford,essex called Grasshopper. They repair,service and sell anything relevant to lawn mowers
SAE 30 weight in the summer or SAE 10w30 if you use it in cool temperatures. I highly recommend synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.
Yes, a 5.5 Briggs & Stratton engine can be converted from a pull start to an electric start, but it generally requires specific components. You will need an electric starter motor, a compatible flywheel with a ring gear, a battery, and a wiring harness to connect everything. It's important to check the engine model for compatibility with the electric start kit and follow manufacturer instructions for installation.
Briggs has a rudimentary wiring diagram for the operation of an electric start engine. see the link below.
An electric starter.
Look under dash in right side.
You just need to get a 12 volt electric starter, it interchanges with the 110 volt starter. You should be able to use a starter from any 8 hp to 12 hp single cylinder flathead Briggs engine, 1970s to 1990s vintage. If you need the starter ring gear, you can purchase it as kit with mounting screws to attach to existing flywheel.

A car starter is an electric motor that is used to turn the engine over in order to get it started.
I have a 14.5 Briggs and Stratton engine on a Ranch King riding mower that will not start. After spraying starter fluid into the head, and air cleaner it fires for a second, but will not run. It is getting gas.....coil??? or something else?
Remove gas tank and plastic shroud covering engine. Remove metal engine shroud and debris screen. Starter pulley and recoil assembly are underneath screen.
It's basically an electric motor that spins the crankshaft in the engine to get it started.
The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion.
