Not sure if I understand your question, or if there even a is question...
However IMHO, if you have an Original with an original recoil start, it is much more valuable as it is. If I'm not mistaken the dash towers on the ones without electric start weren't drilled for the key switch or start button, and I believe there were some other minor differences between them and the electric start models.
You have a true classic there and I believe that it would be a real shame to compromise it's original integrity.
You mentioned something about "rebuilding the recoil starter". If your recoil needs attention, check with our sponsors or watch epay, as parts do come available from time to time.
