They limiters have nothing to do with your starter, sorry, it only takes a few revolutions to pump up that collapsed lifter so I see no benifit for starting.
Springer explains them the best....you do not need limiters or Jims Hydro Solids (which do the same exact thing) in a motor with less than 220 seat pressures on the valve springs and very aggresssive cam ramps. If you have that kind of pressures your in the 450lb range when open....there you will have some trouble keeping the lifters pumped up at higher rpm running so the limiter will act as a solid lifter at that point.
Are they noisy....try a set with woods cams....it will drive you never to ride the bike again. The are a waist of money for a street build in my opinion, they where designed for high end builds, with stressed valve trains.
I only asked the questions about the limiters to see if you really knew what they did and why you bought them besides some one told you too you needed them.....Jims Hydro Solids are in the neighborhood of $450.00 a set and for what.....you gained nothing from them but noise with a street motor.
