Hi! Mark.
I hear the theory but if the damn thing can't get over top dead centre
because the next compression stroke has started my case rests !
I'll remember your offer. Thanks

Not correct!
Starter size depends largely on the size and compression ratio of one
cylinder- not how many of them.
There are some wonderfully light and powerful starters on the market now.
Valeo are particularly good and not too expensive. Let me know if you want
some part numbers?
Regards.......MARK WILKSCH
