It was, all I had to do was walk up to the counter and pay for it.

You suggested a 6v starter to him. I was reading a Bob Drake I think it was catalog and it stated the 6v works fine in a 12v system as long as you dont "get on it", I dont know what they call "get on it" and I didnt want to find out.

I was also told that a 6v starter spins faster and that makes the bendix hit the flywheel ring gear teeth harder which was another reason I went 12v. That may have been just something to sell me the 12v starter bit thats what I was told.
