Sorry guys, I didn't see the second page of this tread. Yes the measurements indicate 6V flywheel and the 12V stamp on the starter housing says what it is. I should definitely have a 6V starter but as I said before it has not been a problem up till now. I will see if the new brush's fix it or I will look for a 6V starter. Again Thank you very much for your wisdom and advise. Very hard to get help these days and a place like this forum is AWESOME!
