Re: Starters...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by les2097
Hi,

I'm wondering if you can get the Sullivan Model 4 starter with the Miller belt drive unit???

Does anyone have any advice about the Sullivan Dynatron starter motor ... versus ... the Sullivan Model 4 motor???

We generally use engines like the ZDZ 80, Brison 4.2, 3W78 ...

Thanks

My Miller unit is mounted on a standard Sullivan starter( the low cost one) The gear reduction of the Miller unit reduces the torque requirement so that I can use 24V on the Sullivan unit that is rated for only 12V. I did this on the advise of Miller. My unit turns my ZDZ 80 with plenty of power to spare. I have not tried a 100 cc engine but I am sure it will start it. I have been using this unit for more than two years.
A gas engine normally is easily hand started. Sometimes they can get stubborn (especially the rear carb ZDZ's) and it is handy to have the persuader around
