I've searched the archives and can't find the answer to this question:
If I convert my 48 Super A to 12v neg ground, will the stock starter still turn the correct direction?

Re: 12v conversion questions
Shouldn't matter if it's positive or negative ground it will still turn the correct way.

Re: 12v conversion questions
Thanks.
I ask this because when playing with small D.C. motors as a kid, when I reversed the polarity the motor turned the opposite way.
I assume it has to do with the way the motors are made, wound and whatever.
I ordered a stock starter (with fingers crossed) and it should be here in a few days.
I have a one wire alternator and wiring harness already.
Hope to get a chance to work on it soon.
I may have more questions coming.
Thanks again!

Re: 12v conversion questions
I remember when I was a kid I had a plug in clock that ran in reverse if you flipped the plug in the socket.

Re: 12v conversion questions
stock starter, fingers crossed
If your worried about the the stock 6v starter holding up to a 12v system don't.
I have a Cub and '46 A that have been converted to 12v and they're fine. I rebuilt the Cubs starter a couple of years ago but I don't think being run with12v had anything to do with its failure.
It was a worn out mess. 6v 12v, it was on its way out either way. It's been fine since and along with the A they both get used regularly.

Re: 12v conversion questions
This has me wondering why the starter doesn't run backwards. I know it doesn't, but I had an erector set too! John
