This Clipper should have the starter switch on the carburetor and the accelerator pedal must be full down to operate it.

Anyone else here besides me, dislike the accelerator pedal operated starter switch? This design/method eliminates coordinating the throttle opening with the starting process under different conditions of cold and hot.

I recently installed a push button starter switch under the instrument panel of my 47 Custom to by-pass the switch on the carburetor. I was able to route the existing wires and did not have to splice or change them. I left the carb switch in place. I am pleased with the improved starting.

The next owner can easily restore the system to its original condition if desired.
