You could put a car tire between the starter and the cone and you will not get any more torque out of the starter.
Too bad you didn't read my actual post...
I said LEVERAGE.
The larger cone produces a
bigger lever moment, resulting in more torque being applied to the engine, particularly if you have a spinner that can be gripped further out.
That is why I can easily start 55cc gassers with my Hobbico starter... a larger cone plus a 14.8v source.
