I was wondering about this. I would think since it has a kicker, that it should be able to run without a battery. If not, what's the point of the kick start?

Once it is running, the alternator or magneto or whatever it has should provide enough juice to keep it running, otherwise you would always be draining the battery. Any thoughts on why it wouldn't run? Does the battery act as a voltage sink and regulator?
