I'm sure the LSE's will fire down to ~6V, but it doesn't mean they always fire at the correct time with the first pass of any given magnet past a sensor. My IO-360-A with dual LSEII's and flywheel trigger has backfired a few times, immediately when engaging the starter. Hasn't broken my Skytec LS starter yet, but my starting procedure now is to start cranking with the ignition OFF and once the prop makes a revolution or two, then turn on the ignition. Never get a backfire that way, and still starts almost immediately.
