Ever Ready Automatic starter

Post by FlyingMerkel » Fri Oct 28, 2022 5:54 pm

Has anyone here ever come across an Ever Ready Automatic starter? During the brass era they were a short lived company that made mechanical, spring operated, starters. Basically the running engine winds up the spring, and when you go to start your vehicle again, you can release the spring to crank over the car. These starters were made in three sizes, and I’m looking for the smallest, motorcycle sized, starter. I figure the model T crowd has the most exposure to brass era accessories devices, so maybe someone here can help me out on my search. I have an early motorcycle that should be equipped with an Ever Ready starter, and I’m hoping to locate one.

Yeah, there’s the smaller automobile version. Thanks Rich! I’m hoping someone has a motorcycle version on the shelf somewhere.
