sometimes its also a size problem;
a electric motor to start a big diesel would need to be huge
here is a twin air starter setup on an huge EMD 20-645 locomotive engine (used as generator in this case);

note the small size of the two starters (and the huge air lines going to them)
btw
the engine is a 20V with 645 cid (10.7 liter) displacement ... on each cylinder :smokin:
