IMHO you don't need a high torque starter.....

if you want to go electronic ignition you need to consider what distributor you have fitted. My last engine I removed the divers helmet distributor and used a crab style one instead.

I then used the Pertronix kit which IMHO are the best on the market.

Contact Jim Turnbull at Royal Kustoms in Poole.... very very very clued up on these engines.


As for your battery, I converted my carrier from 6V + earth to 12V - earth. Some creative wiring was required to make my switch panel and gauges all work as they are 6v.

misfire could be any number of reasons, timing being just one of them.



Cheers
