Whose starter did you end up buying? Do you have an inductive ammeter and a photo tach by chance? It would be good to know the cranking RPM and amperage of a fresh Bosch reman starter.

I purchased a Bosch reman through Worldpac.
I dont have either a photo tach or a clamp meter. Ill see if I can borrow them - it'd be nice to know.
It's not so much the full cranking speed thats different as the 'acceleration' of the starter from rest to full crank. It really 'kicks' the engine over on the first crank quite fast.
