Default Re: Starter Mechanism

The torque of a 6 volt starter operated on 12 volts can be reduced by installing a set of 12 volt field coils, see https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/P...odel-a/starter. You will need a heavy duty soldering iron and maybe new brushes and contact button plus insulators. The pole screws may need to be removed with a drift and large hammer but you will need new screws.
