Default RE: Starter Current

Wellllll.... probably not. If it turns the engine, well, what's the point.

I have the same starter motor that turns engines ranging from .40's to 1.20's. And it turns them over and they start, so I don't care much what current they are drawing. My battery is one of those Sears emergency car booster starter thingies that I bought 10 years or more ago. It will start a car, so it is sufficient to start an engine that is a fraction of the displacement than my car engine is. I also use it to power my fuel supply pump and to charge my glow driver. So, I suspect that it is sufficient to do what I want it to do. I have an OS 1.60 that I am getting ready to install on a Seagull Super Star. I fully expect it to turn that engine over too.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but what's the point, KW.
