I read your post and corrected it. You may get more grip with larger cone on your starter, not more torque.

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.
