I built a Rotax 912 powered SkyRanger and a Jabiru 3300 powered Sonex.
I noticed in the Schicke GR6 documentation that they suggested using 6AWG wire for power and ground. Some of my friends have used this gauge wire and they too have "weak starter" issues. My power and ground wires are 4AWG welders cable soldered on like this...

The trick is to jam as much solid copper wire as you can into the lug prior to soldering C get the solder flowing and get out before you overdo it.
My starters spin rapidly C my motors always start quickly (even in the cold) and the wires don't get hot.
One other tip... The "internal" ground may be poor. Be sure to brighten all mounting nuts/bolts/studs and apply antioxidant grease (Vaseline will do in a pinch) and re-torque to specs. Don't over-torque.
Hope this helps and hope anyone more knowledgeable than myself can correct any misinformation I may have posted.
