[Healeys] 100 Starter Motor

[Oudesluys]

Thomas,
Unless you have a very high compression (modified) engine there should 
be no need at all for a stronger starter motor. The same motor can crank 
an E-type Jaguar.
If it cranks to slow something is amiss (brushes, contacts, solenoid, 
battery terminals etc.).
The gear reduction starter motors are in fact much better as they 
consume a lot less current and thus can save the battery in the long run.
