1400229 also came with electric start.I believe the starter is 12 volts
It is 11 tooth AutoLite MDH 4001 M2
I also believe the choke solenoid is 6 volts because there no written denoting that it is 12 volts.
The plan is- :
Take off the stuck 1400229 (1956) and put on a RD-17S (1955) block
To use the exhaust housing from 1400229 (1956)
To use the carb from 1400229 (1956)
To use the mag with the stop and link assembly from RD-17S (1955)
To use the starter from 1400229 (1956)
To use the ring gear flywheel from the 1400229 (1956)
My questions-
Will a carb from a RDE-18 (1956 30 hp) work on a RD-17S (1955 25 hp)??????
Should I reuse the stainless steel baffle plate that goes between the top of the exhaust housing and the bottom of the block? 1955 RD never used a baffle stainless steel plate
