I had good cables and grounds and even a 1000 CCA battery
and that thing did fine to start the engine, with glow plug help.
Then it got slower and slower until I got it fixed at a auto-electrico.
He put a new bosch brush pack in and fixed some shorting out that
was going on. (where the hot wire from the solenoid goes through the case).
I can't believe how fast it turns over now, sounds like a gas starter but cool.

It's so fast now I'm thinking I should check the compression.

H6? battery, Biggest battery that would fit, in AGM (13V)
I'm thinking those old starters are not as bad as people say
and that they just need a tune up, bigger cables and good 13V power.
That's probably how they cranked new, hence manuals saying they don't
need glow plugs in warm weather. Those heavy direct-drive starters seem
to last forever, too.
...that or my engine is worn out early...

but it seems to run fine.
