Product Description
This is a new starter motor 12V, 1.4kW for conversion 6- gt 12V for Volkswagen Karmann Ghia 14 models.
Some people do not change their 6V starter when converting their VW to 12V electrics. This does not do good for your car. The 6V flywheel will function on 12V, but things will fail prematurely. The old 6V starter will spin faster, and it also slams into the flywheel faster and slowly chews up the teeth on the flywheel, until the starter will no longer turn the engine over and the flywheel or the ring gear now must be replaced.
This starter has the windings of a 12V starter with the gear to match a 6V flywheel.
