Build a Starter


			Build a starter for your vintage kart!



	Components: - Honda Accord/Prelude gear reduction starter motor with integrated solenoid (Ebay - rebuilt starters, $15-40 Click Here) - Heavy duty push button spring loaded switch (NAPA $10) - 3" OD, 1/2" ID pulley (hardware store $6) - Minibike hand grips ($2) - Scrap steel (free of course) - V-Belt (hardware store - $6) - Long 6'+ battery cables (NAPA $10each). For a more flexible copper cable, try an arc welder ground lead (welding supply house)






		Here is a "bolt together" version of the same starter idea. Note the use of cut off Swiss Hutless Corsa nerf bars (hey, what is a nerf bar anyway?).
