For those of us that are still on 6 volts there is a huge benefit on having both earth and live feed connected direct from the starter motor to battery. Prior to doing this, the starter on my RP would work, but albeit reluctantly even though I had an extra earth cable connected to one of the
head studs. When I relocated it to the lower starter motor fixing bolt the motor now spins like a good 'un even for cold starts where it needs a good spin to prime the carb. A mod more than well worth it. It seems that some conductivity is lost through the block/crankcase interface and even the timing case to chassis earth strap doesn't help that much.
