Title: Starter Motors Post by: KFH on December 31, 2007, 03:01:26 PM I have been reconditioning some starter motors and generators for my grey motor FC. I have one starter that has 4 brushes. The only visual differences I can find is a small amount of blue colour on the solenoid. What year/model was the 4 brush starter motor first used? I presume they have more torque than the 2 brush unit.

The full stampings on the motor, which is a Bosch, are: U-EED 0,8/12 R37 The block is was/is attached is one from an EJ stamping Keith Title: Re: Starter Motors Post by: mcl1959 on January 01, 2008, 07:26:57 PM The starter you have is from an FB/EK/EJ. The 4 brush system started with this model. The 2 brush starter from the FE/FC has a locked torque figure of 7.75 ft/lb at 350 amps whilst the 4 brush starter achieves 8.5 ft/lb at 280 amps.
