I have a thought for those of us with high compression/no electric starter motors. It is a Model T Ford inspired "magic starter"
Put a switch in the circuit to the ground side (e.g. the green PAMCO wire) of the coil.
With a piston just over TDC on its power stroke and current to the "hot' side of the coil (a question arises here) cycling the "magic starter" switch on-off-on should produce a spark and that spark is at least as likely to induce combustion as a prod on the kickstrarter.
I'm pretty sure that will work with a battery and wonder if there is a way for it to work without one.
You can put that switch in a "special place" as part of your theft-reduction program as a bonus.
It is still cloudy, cold and wet here in the GreatNorthwet. These weather conditions are conducive to such mental wanderings.
