Installation notes
Slide the pinion onto the starter motor armature shaft. Check that the pinion moves smoothly along the thread and returns freely under spring tension. Also check the condition of the flywheel (ring gear) for tooth wear. If the flywheel is defective, the ring gear must also be replaced to prevent further damage.
Compatibility
Suitable for 6V starting systems with Autolite MZ-4113 starter motor and 97-tooth flywheel. Not compatible with other starter types or 12V conversions where the starter motor has been completely replaced. The Bendix mechanism is independent of voltage – a 6V starter can run temporarily on 12V, but will wear out more quickly.
Historical context
The Bendix Drive mechanism, developed by Vincent Hugo Bendix, was the standard starting system during WWII. The inertia drive uses the inertia of the pinion to engage with the flywheel – a robust yet simple principle that served reliably for decades.
