Title: high torque starter?
Post by: autobarnhauler on January 27, 2007, 20:26:01 pm
hi guys, ive just fitted my new 22.76cc engine and trying to start it 4 the first time,
and was wondering if i need to fit a high torque starter, as it turns over slowly on a new stock moter.
conpression is 10:1 with c45 cam and msd ingnition.
any ideas? thanks  ;)

Check the trans ground strap etc, it shouldn't be any problem.
My old 2332 had 11.5:1 and started instantly with a stock starter.
At the moment have a 1967 6V starter that runs on 12V, that's a solution that beats any Hi torque starter.

Use the Bosch SR15N. It is stock style but 3lbs lighter.

What about if you have a 6V car and a hi-po motor? Will it work using the late model 6V starter and a 200mm flywheel?
Will it have enough torque to turn a 10,5 compression 2276?

That motor shouldn't have a problem with a good stock starter and a good battery if all the grounds and such are up to snuff- no fancy $$$ stuff needed here.  Gear reduction starters are lame- they don't weigh anything less than the black Bosch SR15N and they make your car sound like a To#¤ta- the only weight reduction you will notice will be in your wallet.

A 6 volts starter on a 6 volts 67'... it's enough to star a 1776 cm3 ( a few years ago...almost 15  :-\ Y'a I'm old) whit this combo
 69x 90,5/ Engle 110/ 1,25:1/ 200 mm flywheel 109 teeth ( -500 gr) / 2x solex 40PII-4 + Knetch/ 010… whit a CR like 9:1
 Absolutely any kind of problem beside the bad general feed back on Solex’s 40 and 6 volts performance cars but for a 2276?
 I think for a so big engine, the torque of the 6v starter have a lot of work to do =>
 The inertia of the parts (the forged crank whit this counterweights + the rods + Forged pistons ), more the CR, …. I think its to limit 
 Sorry for my so poor English
