Reply To: 1936 Sportfour Imperial Electric, Model 9017

The starter-generator on the later Sportfour is basically the same unit as the round one except it has an extra housing added onto the front to hide the wiring and provide attachment points for the gauge and switch(es).

I have written articles on electric start motors (a 1930 Quad and 1931 Super C) and I’ve worked on and run several of them, but that doesn’t mean I know more about them, it just means I’m more familiar with them than some folks. I did always include wiring schematics in the articles, FWIW. Basically the same as what was scanned and posted and is available as has been pointed out.
