I use 1/0 wire, with soldered connections. Never an issue. Clean and solid connections works everytime.
If you want good starts in any kind of temps, switch to a magneto. I had the F-12 out yesterday and took it to a Bike rally picnic for the kids. Turned out the adults liked it as much or better than the kids did. I think I started the daggone thing 30 times for those bikers! 1/4 turn, and she started every time.
Only problem with the F12/F14 is that if they sit for awhile, the gas drains back out of the downdraft carb (and the gas boils off a bit out of the bowl), and they need a wee bit of priming to start easily......otherwise you will crank enough until you get fuel back up into the carb.
A tuned up engine with a mag will start like a dream if the fuel delivery is right. No voltage drop to the coil. And if your battery is dead, the crank handle is your friend! contrary to popular belief, you do NOT have to spin a well tuned engine fast and multiple RPM's to start it. All it takes is 1 cylinder to fire, and away you go. If you know how and when to use the choke, it is not tough starting these old girls.
Nothing wrong with battery ignition, but I personally prefer mags.
