6V starter...how do you identify if it is one?
I have a starter that came with a box of crap with my '68 baja.
I dont know what year it's from, but it looks ancient. its huge, and has screw on plates on the solenoid.
Someone wanted a 6V starter and I don't want to get his hopes up because I have NFI what this one is...
how do you tell without fitting it up and trying it?

Hi
The voltage is written on them and the 6 volters have a larger spigot bearing size.

6 volt versus 12 volt starter Motors...
The 6 volt starter has a different number of teeth to mesh with the 6 volt ring gear. 6v & 12v have different number of teeth on the ring
gear. I can count the teeth on a 12 volt starter motor tomorrow, but they normally have the voltage stamped on them... The mounting holes for 6v &
12v are the same , as far as I know, back to around 1961... not sure on ovals etc...

12 volts starter has 9 teeth....
Well, it IS definately, dirty & crappy looking... and OLD looking..
A 12 volt starter motor has 9 TEETH on the pinion....
I just counted them... not sure about a 6v
should be more or less - not the same though...

and it doesn't say whether its 6v or 12 volt on the strater motor...
It wouldn't have taken much to stamp a couple of extra numbers....

from Chilton's VW Manual..
36HP starter : Bosch EED 0.4/6L/4
40 HP starter : Bosch EEF 0.5/6L/1
40 HP type 2 : VW 113 911 021 B
these are 6 volt starter numbers.
this may be of some help..

12 volts arrived in Australia in 1968 ***
The first 12 Volt Beetles sold in Australia were the New Updated 1968 Model.... In the UK, they were still selling 6v 1200cc beetles in
1968...
Most 6 volt starter motors would have been thrown away many years ago...
