The standard pull-start has not changed in decades. It is physically demanding, unreliable, and leaves users stranded when they need power most. DuoStart adds push-button electric starting to the small engines you already own, powered by the cordless tool battery already on your bench, while keeping the manual ripcord in place as a backup.
Cold weather drains energy and patience with every failed pull. DuoStart delivers consistent cranking power in exactly the conditions where the pull-start fails.
DuoStart bridges the gap between traditional gasoline engines and modern cordless convenience. It is a bolt-on retrofit that opens the world of gas-powered equipment to a wider demographic, including those with physical limitations and those simply seeking a more efficient workflow in the yard or on the worksite. The invention is available now for manufacturing, retail, wholesale, distribution and licensing partnerships.
See how DuoStart slides onto a small engine, accepts a standard cordless tool battery, and starts the engine at the push of a button.
Experience the freedom of effortless engine starting with an innovative dual-start system that gives you the best of both worlds, traditional pull-start and convenient push-button electric start in one device. Simply slide in the cordless tool battery you already own and choose your method.
Ideal for compressors, generators, and small engines of all kinds, especially in cold weather conditions where starting is toughest. User-friendly, rugged, and built from durable plastic and metal construction, DuoStart delivers reliable cranking power every time. This is the future of small engine starting.
For anyone who relies on small gas engines, a hard start can mean lost time, lost work, and real frustration. Cold weather makes it even worse, draining energy and patience with every failed pull. The standard pull-start has not changed in decades. It is physically demanding, unreliable, and leaves users stranded when they need power most.
But now, there is the DuoStart, created by inventor Jacob Loewen. A dual-start system that replaces the standard engine shroud with a specialized housing, letting you start the engine at the push of a button using the rechargeable battery already in your toolbox. The manual ripcord stays exactly where it is, so the equipment is always ready regardless of battery status.

A closer look at the DuoStart housing, battery adapter, and control assembly.
Inventor Jacob Loewen unveiled a breakthrough in outdoor power equipment technology with the Small Engine Electric Starter Adapter, marketed as DuoStart. The device was designed to bridge the gap between traditional gasoline engines and modern cordless convenience, addressing a significant pain point for the many homeowners and professionals who struggle with the physical demands of traditional pull-start mechanisms.
By replacing the standard engine shroud with a specialized housing, the adapter enables users to start their small engines with the simple push of a button, drawing on the same rechargeable batteries found in common handheld power tools. The system is engineered for maximum compatibility, with a battery adapter interior that can be configured for various major tool brands, integrated vents for thermal management, and a control housing that manages the electrical connection between the battery and the starter motor.
Safety and reliability sit at the forefront of the design. The adapter maintains the original manual ripcord, providing a dual-start capability that serves as a vital backup in the event of a low battery. That hybrid approach keeps the equipment ready for use regardless of environment or battery status, and opens the world of gas-powered tools to a wider demographic, including those with physical limitations and those seeking a more efficient workflow.
