    Coosaridgerider, thanks for the reply.
    Unfortunately that store does not exsist and tey do not ship batteries.
    Looking on thier site there are deep discharge ones, combining that with the amp you have gives me a target to shoot for

    We've been using a 300CCa battery, then a jump-starter running 600! Our problem is that the starter cannot spin the engine fast enough for the thing to fire. we manually decompressed the cylinder by holding the exhaust valve open whilst we span the starter, once up to speed we dropped the valve and the thing burst into life (which was fun with the rocker cover off ).

    anyway - I think 300CCA is fine for the battery so am now suspecting we need a new starter or a rewind - any thoughts?

    Steve.

    I would take the starter to get it checked.Usually a place that rebuilds alternaters rebuild starters and could check it for you.
