Default Electric Starters and Weedwacker Engines?

What type of electric starters have sufficient torque to easily turn over a 25 or a 30cc conversion?I tried my standard Magnum and Sullivan starters on both of these Homies and the compression is just way too much for these starters to handle.I'd be interested in finding out what others are using to start their engines.Is there a reduction drive unit available to convert a standard starter to a high torque starter?I remember someone making a similiar unit a few years back that you just bolted onto the front face of your standard Sullivan type starter and it used a belt drive runnining from a small pulley to a larger pulley which had the drive cone mounted to the front of it.
