A friend tried his small Sullivan black and yellow starter on 24volts and to start his BME 50, It welded the starter switch contacts shut. The contacts may have been oily?
He disconnected the battery and separated and cleaned the switch contacts but it surprised him.
same thing happened to me on my 24 dynatron...i got rid of it.....this time i went 12 volt wire in parallel with a hobbico torqmaster and it will crank my saito 150 with no problem, and i tried it for kicks on my dl50 cc and it worked too.... but i usually start gassers by hand, since they dont have the nasty kick back that glow engines can put out
