Tech Cycle manufactures Tornado starters to fit early ‘65-’88 model 4 and 5-Speeds with final chain or belt drive. Tornado starters are available with either a 1.4kW or 2.0kW starter motor. Each includes a new gearbox, gears, and mounting plate to replace the factory gear reduction housing. These starters utilize our unique 3 gear reduction system in place of the factory 2 gear unit. As with all Tornado starters, the early model starters are available in a natural or chrome finish.
Note: Due to the increased size of the gear reduction unit utilizing three (3) in-line gears, certain applications may require clearancing a small area on the top of the transmission case. Instructions are provided.
