12 Volt Starter
August 7th, 2008 | Posted by Justin Kaiser | Category: Electrical Tech, Engine Tech | CommentsA lot of times when doing a project like this we don’t know what year or type of parts to purchase. I’m in the process of rebuilding an engine and have heard rumors that if i purchase a new or reman starter or other electrical component for that matter, I should find something froma 1978 VW bus with an automatic transmission. It apparently has no shaft extending into a bushing, and I can use it on any year 12 volt trans!

This would solve the speedo problem for me as I am using an XS650 front mag wheel. To match up drives and speedo`s is a problem. Cant seem to find one that supplies in Kmh.”
Thanks Anthony. I plan on using my Garmin Nuvi GPS. I’ve got a GPS that cost about $150 and it works great as a speed sensor as well… and very accurate. Hope this helps.
