HWade Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Does any body know of a starter motor that will fit a WC dodge engine fitted with a electric solenoid for push button or key start. I want to do away with foot pedal start. Thanks Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) My Dodge was converted to a key start so there is that type of starter that fits, but don't know from what?, try John at Midwest military in the US, sure he will know Edited November 28, 2016 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is a reason, the foot operated starter switch linkeage also engages the starter pinion gear to mesh with the flywheel too Edited November 28, 2016 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Any contemporary or slightly later Chrysler 6 volt unit should fit. There might be an owner out there with a truck converted to solenoid start, that would do you a straight swap to get the original type.
