That's what I was wondering. According to my old school thinking, there is no way that puny starter can crank like a big one. It must be gear reduction. The small size will definitly give it more header clearance. Thanks for the hot tip tx firefigher, my starter is on it's last legs so I am going to try one of those mini starters.
