Best Starter For High Compression Harley

1. Battery or Electric Starter: The traditional starter on a Harley (and all other motorcycles) is a type known as an “electric starter”.

This is because there is an electric motor that does the actual turning of the engine.

The starter motor is mounted on the end of the crankshaft and is turned by a special gear that is attached to the back of the engine. The job of the starter is to simply spin the engine enough for the motorcycle to be started.

The electric starter is usually connected to the battery via thick wires and these wires are used to spin the starter when the rider presses the starter button.

On some motorcycles you may also find what is called a ‘battery starter’. This is simply a starter motor that is driven directly by the battery.

The starter button is connected directly to the battery so when the rider presses the button, the starter motor turns the engine. Battery starters are basically the same as electric starters except that they don’t have the additional gear.

One of the advantages of an electric starter is that it is very convenient to use. You simply press the starter button and the bike will start.

There is no need for a smooth and clean engine cranking before you press the starter button as is the case with a manual starter.

Another advantage of the electric starter is that it is very powerful and will spin the engine no matter what the condition of the engine is.

With a manual starter, there are times when the engine is extremely cold, wet or even when the engine is flooded. The electric starter can still spin the engine under any condition.

2. Manual Starter: The traditional starter on a Harley is called a manual starter. This is basically an assembly of gears that is attached to the end of the crankshaft.

The gears have sharp teeth and are turned by the rear tire of the motorcycle as it drives. This turns the gears which in turn turns the starter assembly and crankshaft.

The manual starter has the advantage of being very reliable when it comes to starting the engine. The engine will always start with a manual starter given enough cranking effort.

Another advantage of the manual starter is that it can be easily operated. There is nothing to do except turn the starter until the engine fires.

Plus, there is no need for special tools to operate the manual starter. As long as you have the strength, you can use the starter.

One disadvantage of the manual starter is that it is not very convenient. You have to go through the trouble of getting off your motorcycle, walking over to the bike, putting the bike in first gear, attaching the choke and cranking the starter.

The manual starter also requires a very smooth engine cranking before it can be turned. Things like flooded engines, cold engines and wet engines will not start with a manual starter.

The manual starter also requires the bike to be in neutral and the rear tire to be off the ground before it can be turned. Another disadvantage of the manual starter is that it is very hard to turn and takes a lot of cranking to get the engine to fire.

This can be a disadvantage for the rider especially in public places where there may be no place to sit down and crank for a long period of time. With a manual starter, you have to stand upright and crank for a long time before the engine will start.
