Yes, larger engine requires higher currency. I recommend higher model. But I don't recommend the Stanley brand. It is actually made by another firm. And the Stanley doesn't provide any service for this product.

You're right, but this article has been tested only in my cars are compact cars with 4-cylinder engines 1.6cc, the truth is this is the worst article I could buy on amazon, I thought that being serious stanley brand good, but at this point the computer does not work, damage the battery and adapter 110v to 12v internally.

Ignitor was installed in a classic Lincoln. Gas mileage was not an issue. It was installed to facilitate starting

I ordered the starter for my 5.5 V8. It is working good. The 320 is a 3.2 L6 or V6, I have doubts about the L6 being compatible. I would call a local auto supply for starters for both engines and take note of interchangeability.

IF you lost your instructions Try buying a second one and hope they came off the same production line. The 2 tricks are that you must make the plug wire wrap as close to the spark plug boot as possible as elsewhere you will pick up "ringing" and it will not read correctly; AND if you make a mistake you must shut the engine off to reset the process. :::::REMEMBER YOU MUST SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE OR START OVER:::::: Follow the instructions and start over. etc etc etc etc I find that if very careful you can set it for 4 cycle 4 cylinder easily but a mistake will put it on 2 cycle every time. Concentrate on the idea that idle for 4 cycle auto engines is that one cylinder COUNT IS 1/4 / 2 Small engines usually idle at 800 to 900 rpm. If you read close to 850 at idle you probably did not make a mistake. The instructions for the 5 that I bought are not identical to each other as they were purchased at different times for different reasons. They are so cheap you can afford to do this. I BOUGHT 2 FOR MY MINI TRUCK: one for under the hood where I can see it easily from where I need to know what I was doing with the second inside the cab also easily read. Remember that this item is picking up capacitive coupling from a source that jumps a gap of 0.030 inches at the plug which under high pressure is still high voltage. ON the distributor end of that wire the voltage is many times higher. Radio interference and interference to any sensitive electronic device is likely to occur with unshielded space exists. Tricky business if you need an electronic quiet environment.

I have an 09 f150 with the 5.4. I've got the Edge CTS, a K&N CAI, throttle body spacer, and custom exhaust. If I drive with a light foot I see anywhere from 15-17 city and I've gotten 23 hwy with it set to "economy." On the hwy though, anything above about 70 MPH and you won't see that good. I did tow a 4 place Seadoo trailer from CA to Utah and was getting 19 mpg using the "towing" program. The programmer is compatible with the K&N intake. When you run the setup you can select between a couple different CAI's and it will configure the tune for it. Overall I'm pretty happy with it and seen 3-4 mpg increase on both city and hwy. Hope that helps.

This a wheel-chair (deep cycle) battery, not a starting battery. Because of this, it is not rated for cold cranking amps. The datasheet from Universal Battery gives capacity ratings for up to 13 amps. It can probably deliver more than this, but would need to be combined with a large capacitor to deliver the amount of current required to start a car.The figure given in the specs is 22 Amp-hours, which is an indication of how much energy it can store, not how much current (CCA) it can produce. For example, a 10 amp motor would drain the battery (completely flat, which is bad for it) in 2.2 hours. This a wheel-chair (deep cycle) battery, not a starting battery.

First, I have two of these engines and because they start soooo easily, never considered an electric start.Second, the starting mechanism (rope pull) is designed for a specific flywheel that I don't believe has an electric starting ring. To convert would be expensive!

I'm very happy & satisfied with Hangkai 2 cycle boat engine. I guess It's manufactured by (Generic) a well known Company for Generators & other equipment here in USA... As far as 12 miles a hour -- it's a stretch..Depends on the weight of your boat, occupants and gear, --- In very still waters -- I would bet it will exceed 7 mph easily... How about this for thought: Engine will run on full Throttle for like 2-3 hours on 1 tank of fuel & you will be very far from home.... For the Money it's a great value vs, prices of other boat engines... Like you, I was hesitant about purchase, turned out to be a great fun & investment. Frank

you need to call customer service about that question. I had a problem with starting it.We got it started but only when i spray caburetor cleaner into carburetor to stat it.Thats the only way to get it started.

The first answer is no longer relevant. Amazon's info for this item is out of date. The new specs for the unit are 120 watts, and 280 ft. lbs of torque! This is about 10 amps. I say about since there are losses in the line and plug, and because when the car is running the voltage is higher. The new model is awesome. It takes lugs off of my 4x4 in one or two impacts, so less than 3 seconds. Two impacts on the way back on sets them just a little tight, but not so much that it would cause harm. I wouldn't dare let it hit another time!

Thats an answer i cant give to. But i put it into my 88 camero and had to take it right back out based on the fact it wasnt pushing out enough fuel to my car it gave me about 13 pounds of pressure when i needed at lease 40. But i still have it sitting in my garage if u need it send me a text to my phone 4242394966 its free i will count this as one of my good deeds.

It runs a good 15 minutes depending how hard your driving and amazing buggy. I upgraded the engine to a .18 and its on fire now, super fast. Great car and very durable.

Jesse, dont know what actual speed it may achieve, with no modifications, appears you must drill main jet carb out to somewhere around .039 to. 043 to eliminate hesitation , if you attempt to race it. Then u must remove governor.! This is stuff that i have heard and read on social networks. No experience myself

It can run as high as 5 PSI, which is fine for newer cars and trucks, but for the older cars with vacuum tanks and updraft carburetors it is too high. YOu will need to install a pressure regulator after the pump to cut the pressure down to about 1 pound.

Nope. Mine worked out of the box. regular small engine. Electric start works. I did add a float charger to keep it alive. I bought it for insurance. If you have one ready, there will never be a storm. :)

Yes, I have used it to jump start my wife's 2002 Lincoln Town Car. I can't recall the air temperature when I jumped her car. I don't believe it was during the winter months so I can't say for certain that it will turn over a very cold V8 engine.

Yes it does from what I remember, adding cars would make it quit an attractive unit. I sent mine back and I wished I wouldn't have. I've been trying to get an engine like this one with an aba setup for months with no luck.
