Default RE: Peak amp draw durring start

We have a kerostart P120 and that draws around 25-30 amps peak during start. My friends Gas start P160 only pulls 2amp peak during start. I have never tested he draw with he motor running but an educated guess bassed on total usage during a flight is that its milliamps rather than Amps.

Our P120 uses around 500Ma per flight including the Start and cool down process.
