If you really are using a 12 volt starter with a 139 tooth (6 volt) ring =

failure.

I=E2=80=99ve been using the stock 6 volt starter and stomp switch on my =

with a 12 volt battery (and alternator, lights, radio, wipers, etc) for =

And, you can=E2=80=99t =E2=80=9Cfix=E2=80=9D this problem by putting a 6 =

Hey guys, I have a 50 model 3600 with a later model 235.  Over the years =
I have gone through many starters, and just kept replacing them every =
year or less.  I have now been told that the starters that I have been =
using are 12-volt and the ring grear will not match up to the flywheel, =
so I need a 6-volt starter to match the teeth.  I am told that the =
wiring for a 6-volt starter will work with my 12-volt system.  Any =
thouights?

=20

Thanks!
