The main switches and the starter are then located on the left-hand side. I couldn’t find a suitable component for the starter, so I modified a rotary switch so that the last switch position does not engage but springs back. To do this, I took apart a 12-position rotary switch and bridged the detent at START with two brass plates. The springs and balls inside the rotary switch then spring back to BOTH. The rotary switch can be limited to any number of positions with the enclosed disc with one tooth.

I have already described the procedure here:

Improvised magneto with rotary switch?

It was an experiment, and it works. You can carefully disassamble the switch: rotate to pos 12 careful open the body at the 4 hooks, hold the axis in position and note the position of the grinder rotate to pos1 and see the one ball careful shift the axis, inside are two balls and one spring. now you have to cut two matching brass sheets like in the pictur and modify especially the deepening at BOTH and the next two teeth. you then have to test with the inserted balls and springs to see if it g…
