We hooked up a battery to it yesterday and it started on the button even though the battery was only 12 volts.
Here's a link to a video of the unit starting and running on 30 May 2022  https://youtu.be/Duvia8HlLHg  (https://youtu.be/Duvia8HlLHg) the starter sounds sluggish because it was only a 12V battery.

This appears to be a cracking bit of kit which hasn't been mucked about with.
