Hobbico Starter
I bought a Hobbico Torque Master starter a couple of months ago And haven't really used it. I was starting a new LA 46 just now and noticed how weak this starter is. You can easily hold it and stop it with your hand by just grabbing the metal cone. I thought my battery might be weak so I opened the hood on my truck and used that battery. Nope, no better. This is a brand new starter so the contacts shouldn't be dirty. Do I have a defective starter?
Also I read here about buying an 18volt battery from Harbor freight and increasing the power of the starters. Has anyone done that and did the battery come with a charger? Thanks for your help.
