Yep, there's one in mine

I used an SP 1000 motor with an Eldo 5-speed there are no differences
that I noted.

I think not, I used a refurbished Eldo starter.

It will to the 5-speed motors I don't know that much about converts.

The alternator big twins had different front motor mounts and require
welding on the frame. To put in the generator takes a small amount of
drilling and tapping on the top of the motor plus a little adaptor made
by Teo Lamers and sold in the states by Moto Int.
I had fun putting mine together and would do it all over again if I was
doing a loopframe.
