Will a Petrol Starter motor start a diesel Mk1?
I have some Mk2 ones that should be stronger, but will it be enough?

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Forget it
Not a hope mate. Petrol compression ratio = ~ 10:1 diesel = ~23.5:1
The diesel starter has heaps more windings and a lot more work to do

have a spare diesel starter around the place i think - ask if you want one and i'll dig up a price - if it's willing to part with me
