Oh boy, so I think I may have screwed up.

I wanted to replace my tired 1500 motor in my 62 double cab. It’s all six volt. So I bought a rebuilt 1776 duel carb motor, put the generator on, prettied up all the tin, all together ready for install. Pulled my motor and went to install the 1776!! Now I just realized the flywheel on the 1776 is a 130 tooth 200 mm clutch and the old motor is a 109 tooth 200 mm clutch. So now I think I’m screwed as I believe the 130 tooth flywheel will not marry up to my starter.

So what do I do?

Is there a six volt starter with a teeth to match the 130 tooth flywheel?

So I think could install the 1776 with a little grinding of the bell housing. But this starter issue is really throwing me for loop.

Advice? I’d love to keep it 6 volt.
Matt

Mofoco sells a later style o ring flywheel, that uses a 200mm clutch, but has the 6 volt ring gear.
*win*
You can even use the 6 volt starter on 12 volts, they hold up very well.

You could swap the 6volt flywheel to new engine also,have reground and put new clutch on it, that flywheel you have is somewhat rare. I used that setup in my first car/baja bug, couldn't afford to convert to 12v, motor came from an older bus that was 6v/200mm gave me a larger clutch to learn on and burn up, also no grinding bell housing out! 6 volt starter will work on 12v just dont crank too long.
