Title: Starter swich
Post by: George29 on March 29, 2008, 03:35:24 PM
 :(Hi, hope all is going well. It's a nice day here in Colorado so I decided to find out why my 29 would not start. Found the starter switch on the floor is not making conntact. Does anyone know where I could find one of these for a 1929.

Thanks for any help
George

George,
   I bought one from Carson's a few years back.  They had two more at that time, however, they were pricy at $60 each.  I could have done better on ebay.  They do not show up often on ebay, but every now and then I see one.  In any case, be sure you get a good description, as some of the old Master Parts lists for Starter switches are not correct.   Carson's, 235 Shawfarm, Holliston, MA 01746, PH: 508-429-2269
   If I were you, I would try and take it apart.  Most likely the contacts are burned. If so, you can sand them clean and reassemble the switch.  You have nothing to lose.  I fixed an old Model T floor switch that way.

Thanks for the info. If I can't repair my old one I'll give Carson's a call.
I also will continue to check ebay they had one but I missed it, maybe another one will come up.
