GT550 starter question
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:13 pm
Greetings all
First of all, I would like to thank all of the gurus here for all of their excellent posts. I am continually impressed by the knowledge and helpfulness of everyone here.
My question is this - has anyone here rebuilt a GT550 without the starter & starter drive/clutch? I will be rebuilding my 1974 GT550 (L, I believe) with the early type starter this spring. For my application I don't see the need for the electric starter, and would like to leave the starter drive, etc off, and plug the remaining hole with an aluminum, o-ringed plug. Does anyone here have any experience with this, or see any problems? Especially in relation to the clutch basket? Thanks in advance, Paul
