M38A1 12 volt starter problems

dummyline · Post by **dummyline** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 10:26 am

I have a just completely restored 1952 M38A1, it was converted to 12 volt before I got it years ago. I had my 12 v starter rebuilt but am having problems with it and can't find replacement 12 volt starters, any Help??

Not sure what you are asking for here. Are you wanting a source for another 12 volt starter? Or are you asking for help troubleshooting your starter problem?

You can buy a rebuilt exchange starter for probably $150 by just asking for a 1958 to 1971 4 cylinder CJ5 starter . Models MDM-6005 or MDU-7004

If you need help with troubleshooting you'll have to tell us what your specific problem is.

Wes, Was wanting to find a replacement, you have answered my question. Thanks very much for the reply

Since your rebuilder did such a crappy job let us know who and where he is so the rest of the members can avoid him.

Wes, your previous reply to my request about where to find the 12 volt starters for my M38 A1 has disappeared from my post, please post the three links you left earlier and I'll copy them.

Thanks
Tommy
