6 guage cable is fine for that engine. It doesn't need alot of juice to turn over I have found.

If it was a V-4 or cross-flow engine then yes it would need 4 guage or larger, but for a 3 cylinder 85HP looper 6 guage is plenty. I believe starter current draw on it is around 110-120 amps whereas a V-6 would be upwards of 160 amps.
