The electrical burning smell is definitely coming from the starter motor. I'll give all the starter connections a good clean up before it goes bac...

Re: 6 volt starter bush puller

Thanks fellas. I've read in a number places that a tap will do the job, but recommendations vary from 1/4-18 to 14mm via M12 and 1/2 inch, none of which I nor my local hardware store has.

6 volt starter bush puller

Hi all,

Does anyone have the 6v starter bush puller tool they are willing to lend me? Will cover postage costs if I can't find one locally (Reading).

Re: 6 Volt Batteries of Choice

I'm on my second Optima red-top and would recommend them. While they won't solve any underlying issues they are 6v, maintenance free and cope well with the stress of infrequent use, dry float bowls and mechanical fuel pumps.
