Kit - Replacement Soft Start Relay Assembly

Replacement soft-start starter relay system used on Peninsular engines that came factory with a starter that had an integrated solenoid. This was used on direct-drive starters starting with the rear mount counter-clockwise 2nd-generation Delco starter, and continues with all versions of the rear mount counter-clockwise gear reduction starters produced by Peninsular (2-bolt) and Unique Diesel (3-bolt) mounts.

A version of this system was also used on all engines that used a lower-mount starter (block mounted versus rear bell-housing mounted), this kit does not support those versions. Most engine supplied by Peninsular utilized the rear mount starter configuration.

This product is a new product to provide a replacement resource for engines that have had this assembly removed or modified. Frequently this is discovered during a starter replacement and the new starter will not crank but only clicks or is intermittent, this is because this soft-start system has been removed or rendered non-functional. Previously this assembly was not available for replacement use, portions of this assembly are only available with this kit.

Included with the kit are basic wiring instructions that outlines how this connects to existing wiring harness targeted at usage with current rear mounted counter-clockwise gear reduction starter. The rear mount gear reduction starter is the only supported starter, all former direct drive units are considered obsolete. The instructions included with the kit are the extent of support for wiring-in this component assembly.
