Default Starter Motor for YS170

I have recently purchased a YS170 engine and need to upgrage the starter motor. This is my first YS engine. Any Ideas?

I have looked at Sullivan starters 12 or 24 volt.

Kavan starter with planetary gears model no FK111.

Magnum geared starter 12 volt.

GS Models geared starter 8016 12 volt or GS8018 24 volt from Al's Hobbies (UK).

Which would be most suitable a geared motor or non geared high torque.

Thanks for any support.

Why not try what you have on 18v?

I have a Sullivan that had problems with my 1.20 YS engines and wound up buying a Maxx Prod. geared starter. It works great and has turned over everything I have put it on including a Moki 1.80.

Another good starter is the Kavan, which a friend of mine uses and has used for for years.
