What is the correct name or part # for the foot pedal/mechanism that is press to engage the starter? _________________ Tropical Veteran

Ok, finally found the starter section.
7760417 - PEDAL, starter switch, assy. I think this may be it. The search only finds it one time, and no picture.
And this is the item that pushes the switch contacts together.
7375102 - PLUNGER, switch, w/BLADE, assy (used w/STARTER G740-7762616) this is part of the switch assy on the early starter.
Anyway, my reason for my asking. I may be needing another one. The shaft in mine was bent. And it didn't mount flush on the floor pan. I adjusted the starter lever and switch contacts, but sometimes when I press on the pedal the starter doesn't always engage, however it does spin. I rotate the pedal some and repress the pedal and starter engages with flywheel.
I have been working on it. I took it apart and straightened the shaft and added some metal to the shaft to make it a tad longer.
I don't know if those padels are the same for all the jeeps, or if I have the right one. I'm going to weld it back together and see how it works. _________________ Tropical Veteran

Ken,
Wesk posted one time that the starter pedal was mounted from under the floor to give added length. You might try that...
Hope this helps... |

Thanks Erik, I have already driven it down the country road for about a mile to the main hiway then turned around. I did this a few times to break the engine in. Finally got the carburetor mixture screw where I could adjust the air/fuel mixture. I had some trouble with the starter not engaging everytime.
I'm working on the windsheild frame at the moment. And waiting on canvas to arrive. Yesterday I received the paint stencils.
