Default Re: Starter Mechanism

Actually you don't need two starters. If you are handy with a soldering iron and have some copper strap you can change the field windings of a 6 volt starter to 12 volts. The 6 volt starter fields are two parallel and two series. The 12 starter fields are all in series. If you want to build a 3 volt starter, you can wire all the fields in parallel.
