I have a normal starter for smaller engines which will crank .61's with no fuss, I'll try it and see, but I doubt it has enough gut's to start a OS 1.6.

Hi buchtes,
I just spoke to my friend.
He said that we went the cheap way around but is doing OK with the same starter that I have.
He has the OS1.6,2.3/4 inch spinner and 14X5 prop.
It just doesn't spin as fast and he makes sure the piston is at the bottom of the stroke and the starter is never turning the engine for more then 4-5 seconds so he can't see paying $$$$$ for replacing something that is working for him
