STARTER DIFFICULTIES!!
Have a new ASP .61 which has just had 3 tanks run through. Ended up setting motor up on a stand with an aero prop and spinner and started using 12v starter motor and rubber cone. Reason being that when motor was in boat I could not get it to turn over using same starter motor with belt. Even loosening glow plug right off resulted in engine cranking over too slowly. 12V battery I am using is brand new along with the cheap chinese starter (same as cheap tower hobbies one).
After third tank on stand I refited motor to boat and retried starting with belt, but same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions, I have heard of other people using 24v on a 12v starter motor in short bursts. Has anyone tried this,did it work and am I likely to damage my starter motor?
Do not want to have to purchase a 24v starter which is expensive.
