Paul,

George suggested I help find some smaller starter for the rotary 13B people.
He mentioned Mitsubishi as a source and I am more than willing to get on the
phone and order catalogs or speak with local dealers. I was thinking that
perhaps some of these Kei cars (like the Honda Life you drove) may have
something you could use.

Do you or anyone have any specs. (besides the pinion gear needing to have 13
teeth), of what the standard motor's torque or amp draw and weight is.  Of
course going smaller is of no benefit if the motor burns out or is too weak
to turn the high compression engine over.

No idea Doug. One could figure it out with a amp meter and a model
airplane optical tach.
