Could you guys tell if this is a 6v starter or 12v?

by the look of the shaft, i would say 6volt, but its hard to tell

Need help ID-ing this motor. Checking it with the engine codes here and it’s not making sense to me. It’s a 1600

[mandraks]

B motors were 1600 single ports, early bay.

Yours does only have a 6 digit number, though. restamped after a rebuild perhaps?

I think that’s where the confusion comes in. It’s currently dual port

Well, that 'FIRING ORDER' stamping is a type off that lots of cheap junk has been bolted onto your engine.

The 6 volt starter won't mesh with the 12 volt flywheel.

Using the 6 volt I.D. with 12 volt O.D. bushing you will be able to force fit the starter but it won't mesh and will destroy the teeth on both gears.

What is the voltage battery and bus voltage system you are choosing? I bet you are 6 volt or else you'd just throw on a 12 volt starter.

The rare 200mm 6 volt is the one with O-ring but any 6 volt 200mm flywheel should fit your crank as it was most likely O-ring so it is the smaller diameter and will fit both O-ring and non O-ring 6 volt flywheels.

Barry,

Thank you for the reply.

I'm actually 12v so I could just throw in a 12v starter (was trying to avoid buying if I didn't have to)

So the other option would be to use the 6v flywheel from my 1500 on the 1600 and keep the 6v starter in there.

Yeah I may have come across that listing. I think I’m over complicating this.

Looks like buy a 12v starter and be done with it is a much better decision.
