A fully charged battery will spin the motor sufficiently fast to draw in and compress the fuel-air mixture for ignition. If you have fuel and air entering the cylinder at the correct time and ratio, the spark plug firing at the correct point of compression, the engine will run.
What is your point?
My point is to answer this question poster by the originator of this thread, "Thanks all. I am planning on a new battery for next season. But still curious, when I do have a nice fresh new battery, will my motor be prone to starting easier?". Maybe I should have said it more simply, so... A new fully charged battery will spin the engine at a speed sufficient for it to start, however, that is not all that is required. Sufficient fuel and air, in the correct ratio, must enter the cylinder at the appropriate time. The spark plug must fire at the right time. if the spark timing or the fuel air ratio is off or missing, a new fresh battery will not start the engine but it will spin it sufficiently.
