I have read a lot of different posts on here about 12v conversions. Have not found the exact answer to my problem.
Converted to 12v in order to install a TBI in place of the carb. I am happy with that. The problem I have is with the starter. I kept the 6v starter.
Some times when engaging the starter, the bendix gear does not mesh with the flywheel gear, resulting in a bad clashing fo gears. Not good. Letting of the starter switch and retrying usualy works after a few tries. Sounds as if starter is spinning too fast. That makes sense.
Short of changing to a 12v starter, any advice?
