Carter starter switch on the carburetor
Posted by Rscott77x On 2019/3/1 15:41:58
I have a 1947 Custom Super Clipper (2106) and recently had to install a new part on my Carter carb mounted starter switch. The attached instructions to assemble the switch were kindly provided by Daytona Carburetor rebuilders. In the instructions, the bakelite guide component is one they can "print" should yours break...mine disentegrated.
I have included the instructions. Note carefully that the washers referenced are very rare and tiny and easy to lose!! I handled mine with tweezers. Though not clear in the instructions, they mount on the tiny pin in the bakelite guide item (3). When (5) the W shaped contact spring is pressed all the way down onto the end of the bakelite guard, the washers (item 4) contact (rest) on the bottom of the W shaped spring.
These switches were used on many cars up to the 50's. Unfortunately, no one has taken on manufacturing new one.
