Norton Spindle, Idler
Idler gear spindle for the electric start mechanism, PN 06-4703.
This is a spindle for the idler gear in the electric start setup, catalogued as 06-4703. The one appearance we have on file places it in an Electric Start figure for 1975, so it's tied to the starter gear train rather than the main gearbox.

An idler spindle like this acts as the fixed shaft that the idler gear pivots on, passing motion from the starter motor through to the drive train without changing direction on its own. It's a small, easy-to-overlook part, but if it's worn or missing the idler gear won't sit right and the electric start mechanism won't engage properly.
Our record on this one is thin - just the single catalog listing - so if you're sourcing this for a specific machine, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
