Hi! Duncan.
The small starter batteries are noted for quick release of power
particularly for starting.
Your two cylinder application is even better for cranking than a four
cylinder with only one cylinder compressing at once, my six is even worse
than the four , entirely the other way.
Anyway has Barry Mellers come up with the goods for you yet ?
Regards

Maybe thats more a function of the battery and its ability to provide high
and sustained current for cranking. On the BMW conversion the battery (28
AH) is at the back, connected with pretty slim cables and copes okay. A
second battery mounted on the firewall and connected in parallelwith the
first does of course make an improvement, but not that much.
