Is there a way to convert my B&S 120volt starter to a 12 volt starter? Obviously when I hook it up to a battery it spins but not fast enough.I was told that B&S. doese not make a 12 volt starter for my 11.5hp intek snow.

Thanks in advance for your help.

That is not correct. There is indeed a 12V starter. You cannot convert a 120V. You'll need the replacement 12V starter, a properly rated switch, a fused harness, properly rated solenoid, U1 battery 330 cca minimum, associated mounting brackets, and a wire routed for the ignition ground for the switch. You'll also need an unoccupied DC lead from your alternator <3 amps to charge the battery (your engine may not have this). Not worth the effort in my opinion. You might want to consider selling yours and buying a 12V start equipped machine.
