We are quite in agreement with you using a starter motor which you can purchase, that will turn the engine slightly faster, but do not forget that the strain on the battery would be greater. We do not recommend the modification of winding the starter motor for higher speed, but prefer to wait and see whether the small carburettor meets the conditions. | ||
