OK, now I have seen so musch about starters. Here is what works at our field. I have on my field box, and big motorcycle battery. Using a standard hobbico starter-DIRECTLY cabled to the battery, it starts my friends OS91 with no trouble.

The whole key is getting the juice(current) to the battery. BYpass any power panel you may be using, and replace the standard small gague wire on the starter if it is too small. Make sure you have a good clean connection, and go for it.

If my plain jane started can turn over the 91 with no trouble, then it should turn anything under that over as well. Of course you have to amke sure your battery has a good charge on it, but I only need to charge mine every three weeks or so.


Remember...They key is to get the Voltage/current there without loosing it in the connections.
