Startex Switch

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I am restoring a 1936 1601 coupe, it is almost done. There is a switch that activates the Startex that must placed near the accelerator linkage somewhere. Can anyone tell me where this switch goes? It likely attaches to the firewall some place. Thanks

It doesn’t use a switch per say, as a Startix is a switch. There are two different systems used in 1936 on the cars, one uses a back fire switch as well as all the other normal components, the other system doesn’t have the back fire switch. Anyway, the Startix is just wired into the system, the key position on the dash either activates it to start the car automatically, or the key can be put in the left or run position to prevent automatic starting. I recommend using a modern switch machined to look correct and having the spring starting position like most cars from the forties to the current day, it’s much safer to operate that way. Ed
