Default Why?????

Pat WHY buy another starter that doesn't have the same power as a mini, about half the weight, about 1/3 the ampage draw to crank, and minis can crank over 16.0 compression motors without any problems because of gear reduction of about 4.40 - 1.0. I don't have any specs on wrenchs motor, do you?? How about on a hot day with a hot soak of that OEM starter and watch it draw 250-300 amps to crank. Oem starter turn one to one and some times that is just too much for the drives ,bushings, or bendix. There nothing wrong with what he is doing, just needs some good info for setup. Rick L.
