the armstrong starter does not need battery power. ...just the
occasional sherbert in the evening.

just in case there is a doubt, yes, the J1B not have a starter.
Gypsy Major series 10 mark 1 is the neddy.

I have no experience with any of the Gypsy engines; but it seems like I
heard that some used a "shotgun" type impulse starter--at least in the
military trainer versions.

Just curious.

I had an Auster AOP VI, and it had a starter. Engine was Gipsy Major
7, IIRC.
