I have about 5 starters. 3 homemade jobbies. Have one small one don't know where the motor came from.Works well for small engines, not quite enough ommph for anything larger that a 25. Then I have a riding mower starter motor, converted, works great up to about .60 size, doesn't spin fast enough for some engines. The last one is an actuall small car starter motor. I have not used it yet, the guy who built it said he sarted his 1.8 with no problem. Then I have 2 hobbico starters, 90 and 180 heavy duty. I normally use them just because they are made just for this.
