Freightrain Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Interesting thought. Two air starters or one of each(air-elec)? Dual air starters will eat up some air for no real purpose. If you run just an air starter and are hesitant, no worries. Put good parts in the system and go. Mine has been carefree for years. It will hold 100# for 6 months sitting in the garage. None of the "dead overnight" woes. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post JoeH Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 That's neat on the tank! Just gotta build in an extra passenger seat so you can carry 2 German blokes around with you. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73532-dual-starter-detroit-flywheel-housing/#findComment-541957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 They loved their inertia starters! Nothing like that sound, is there?
