Remote Starter

DODGE SLANT 6 STARTER 2 BATTERYS  WIRE 24 VD

Guys, thanks for that information.  As it turns out, I received an email from a fellow racer who had one for sale, and I am having him ship it to me tomorrow.  Great price and saves me from having to spend extra time perfecting my own contraption.  Curious why most of these operate at 24V.  I know it would double the torque and speed, but is that really necessary on a motorcycle engine?

I hear you on that.  But what surprises me, is watching these guys holding the remote starter with their hands and not getting twisted around.  I was at a hill climb this past summer and these guys had fuel burning bikes, I know they had to have high compression and they were starting them without any kind of a fixing device, like I've seen on the TF and FC machines at the track.  I realize that the car starters have a reduction ratio of about 12 to 15 to one,  but I still don't see how they can hold that without a locking assembly.  I saw some TF Harleys start, they just wheel the assembly up on a hand truck and it looked like it just slid over the shaft and turned it right over.  The whole battery cart, had about a 20" wide bottom, and I'm sure they relied on that to offset the torque.   I'm learning as I go about these things, I'm going to be 65 on Sunday. I used to start my B Fuel Triumphs and Nortons with rollers, something you don't see anymore.

GS450s have weak cranks.

I'm looking for a Kawi remote starter as well.

Thanks Pine!

 

I could probably handle that part OK, but how to adapt the drive to something to mount a socket on is where I'm stumped.

Note to APE Jay,  the crank in the suzuki is a one piece forged unit, plain bearing.  From my experience, that is the strongest and most rugged design for high HP.  Will be on the dyno in a few weeks, will be glad to share the charts.  Scott and S & K racing, who did the machine work, will be operating the machine.  Anyone wanting to see some pics, email me at gcollins4@comcast.net.  Tks.

To those offering advice on the remote starter, thanks for all you input.   Hopefully, the one I have coming in will do the trick.

Oh .... and with a tiny bit of grinding of the landcruiser starter gear a 3/4 inch socket will slide straight over and can be just tack welded into place.
To stop the bendix being thrown out when starting, take the gear reduction cassette off measure the throw of the splined shaft, and cut a piece of tube to space it out and weld it on. It's all pretty obvious once you've seen inside one.

How serious Jack?

 

I'm planning on a 1260cc, 13:1 KZ.

 

What would you suggest, if none of the above are powerful enough?

 

Thanks.

I know most people wire them up 24 v----my personal experience is 24 v is hard on starter drives--thats a hell of a hit on the little one way clutch-------I would'nt unless I had to
