Baumgarten's VW Krankenhaus Service Repair and Restoration “Dont fuddle with the spark” was a term that my dad always quoted from a time of ford model T manual crank started cars.

He was a true mentor to me and will always be my hero. I truly enjoy working on air cooled VWs and building aircooled VW engines.

Standard starter on the left, Autostick starter on the right

A standard starter needs a bushing in the bellhousing to support its shaft. When that bushing wears, you get slow cranking and dragging, and changing it is a pain.

An Autostick starter is self-supported, so it does not need that bellhousing bushing at all. Same teeth, fits in place of a standard starter, and it is a clean 12-volt option for a conversion.

Fitment questions for your Beetle, Super Beetle, or Ghia? Message Baumgartens VW Krankenhaus in Tuttle, OK. We install these regularly.

We just helped a new customer with a dianosis of a starter issue and this was parts of the solution to resolve his problem.
