RE: tartan 22cc
I went over to the Harbor Freight 18 volt pack last year after John Buckner posted up with the packs number, for $5.00 bucks more you even get a fast charger for it. Now my starter with a fresh charge will even roll over the DLE 30 gasser. 18 volts gave it the kick it needed.

Yup a 1.2 cubic inch and change high compression two stroke twin cylinder is going to be a challange for many starters and a practical solution often is increasing the voltage.
I have experimented with many starters on the market and my favorites are the dynatron's and I love the geared and direct drive pair I have but they are heavy and expensive. Of the lower priced starters (which are actually medium priced) I think the Sullivan and the rebranded Sullivan's such as Pylon and Royal which alway have yellow colored plastics are a much better starter and one that will handle higher voltages (current) a little better.
The 90 Torquemasters which alway use the red colored plastics are a nice clean design just do not have the power of the Sullivans.
When the currents are equal. I have not used a 180 Torquemaster but the several I saw being used did not seem to be impressive.
Pictured is my latest which is the Pylon Brand, a rebranded Sullivan that can use the 18 or 24 volt Black and Decker drill battery and either battery would handle your engine with ease. Also is a pictured of a Torquemaster 90 with the 18 volt B&D on the slider mount. It is not quite up to the Sullivan/Pylon but also would handle your engine. The Torquemasters its my belief that 18 volts is the practical limit for the switchs.
I myself prefer to stay away from Lipo battery simply because of the accidental deep discharge danger with a starter.
