Looking for a starter!
- Thread starter Blakec9
- Start date
Only real issue is that most common starters rotate the wrong direction for direct starting 4 cycle industrial engines.
Therein lies the science to make it work.
Only a starter that engages the flywheel from the transmission side will be rotating the correct direction.

I highly doubt it would start a 450 . It struggled with the animal .

My old starter died last week( RIP) it was a 1968 Peugeot with a shaft that extends through both ends . It's been in use since 1972 almost weekly. With that old bugger it would start left and right hand engines. Worked great for my twin enduro and twin dirt stuff. With the extended shaft you had to be careful not to get a shirt caught it the bendix. Lol it was not a gear reduction and until last week it started 270, 500 Jawa, 500Gm, 450Honda. Never let me down until last week when it finally **** the bed. Never find one now that would be 1/2 as good lol later Chuck.

The mini starters will and do work, however they do not roll high compression engines as fast as they need to. The drag creates excess heat in the starter motor creating more drag slowing rotation further overheating. Next thing you know your little wires and battery are smoking... lol
only starter I know of that will effortlessly fire a flooded alky motor

...So the order I put in from TSracing has been cancelled....... I guess Coleman cant get them built at the moment and are on national back order???? I cancelled that order and from the looks of it Burris is the only company to have anything. Any other suggestions before I fork out the $400 on a Burris starter

In comparison, the VC engines are lower compression, have compression release, and are running on gasoline. They should fire fairly easy with a rope.
