"A healthy 6 volt starter with correct gage battery leads will spin a healthy and properly timed engine at between 300 and 500 RPM. A healthy 12 volt starter with correct gage battery leads will turn the same healthy and properly timed engine between 400 and 700 rpm.
Notice the key phrases above are "healthy", "correct gage battery leads '' and "properly timed"."
I hope to god they are talking about the camshaft timing because the distributor, points and coil have nothing to do with the starter turning over an engine.
I'm also curios as the what page a 'healthy' engine and starter is on in the TM. Both are complex machines that need service and adjustment.
I also like the made up number of 300-500 RPM. Thats just under idle speed for most engines. The Go Devil should idle at 550-650. You are going to have one mean starter to get those kinds of RPMs. Truth is you just need to spin fast enough to suck in an air fuel charge and get a spark. That can be 1 RPM or 500 RPM. I routinely start my jeep with the hand crank and I never even make a complete revolution before it fires off.
Oh well, free internet advice... it'll work or your purchase price cheerfully refunded.
