Re: compression test is this bad pressure
Yep! That'll do it
I know with a 350 chev you can buy a "high torque" starter motor.. Is there such thing in our world? If there is. I'd try that

Yeah, Scorpions were fitted with a "reduction drive" starter motor. I had to get one for my Astron, killed two normal starters in like three days when I first got it running, lol
I will find a pic of a reduction drive starter

Normal starter
How it works
Reduction drive starter
How it works
Now, before anyone says anything. No these are not pics of Astron starters but they are a perfect visual description of the difference between the two.
You can see on the reduction starter that the output shaft is offset from the electric motor.

Re: compression test is this bad pressure
Pretty sure these were also fitted to Canter trucks with Astrons and also the diesel trucks and utes. Not sure if a diesel starter can be used on a petrol engine though
