Jonathan,
After I put 1000 hours on the 912UL in my classic, I replaced it with a 912ULS
using the original classic starter plus a Skydrive Soft Start Module and their
Carb Heat Kit too.
I now have over 1000 hours on this setup too and as long as the battery is in
good
condition it starts just fine, summer or winter.

that the newer 912S has a larger starter motor, which won't fit into my
old-style
engine bearer frame. So I'm going to need to acquire a new-ish engine (few
100 hours) with the smaller starter.
