Default rotax electric start

Hi all, I need to get up to speed on the good and bad of an electric starter on my Rotax 503. Pull starting is getting old. It seems that when I kill the engine at 2000 rpm, the next time I start the engine I almost have to flood start it. I know my are is getting tired. I don't think if I just turn the fuel off and let the engine shut down due to lack of fuel is the correct answer also. So, what's the story on an electric starter???
thanks....albert

You have a couple of options for a rotax starter.
the rotax starter, or the GPL starter, or the rotax E box with the starter on the gearbox.
either the rotax or GPL will cost around $600+.
