I have a Shaw R8 either 1950 or 1951.
It has a factory starter which works and I've been using a six volt battery. I have to manually twist the bendex to engage the flywheel before starting though because it will grind otherwise and not mesh into the flywheel gear.
Is it possible the starter is a 12 volt?
Does anyone know what voltage the Shaw starter systems were from this era?
Or is this a bendex in need of replacement?
