bombi starter

[clairpierce]

does any one know if a starter in a 1980 bombi with a 1.6 ford interchanges with any thing in the auto world or is it bombi only?

I think a bobcat forklift used that ford industral engine. I got a part from them for mine one time.

just looked it up and bobcat 445 mustang had the same as my 79 bombi.

I have a 1976 Bombi with the 1.6l and I have been ordering engine parts for a 1972 Pinto 1.6l and have had good luck so far

I used to own a 1980 Bombi and ,like Greenhornet said, I had good luck getting parts for 1970 - 1972 Pintos. The starter in my Bombi was a Lucas and I had a local shop rebuild it.

I found the the parts for the starter at the local auto electric co. no problems. Had the part that afternoon.

what was the problem with it? The starter wire was found to be undersize and causing the starter just to make a click.

I checked all the connectors. I pulled the starter, looked at the selonoid and it had moisture in it and was starting to rust. put new selonoid on and good to go.

Hey guys I may be forced to sell this bombi (high property tax in Utah) but I dont have a clue what it is worth. I have restored the machine from ground up. most of the metal was replaced with alluminun, including the cab. any input would be welcome. thanks I will post pics.

You should put this in the buy sell trade thread.....Very nice by the way....I'm sure it will fetch a good price and some one with a handle on that will be here shortly.....
