I took out the old starter motor and replace it with my one from the wagon... Wont need that one for a while
Anyway the standard kicked over no troubles after the swap
Today i took down the starter motor and first thing that I found was this as I pulled off the rear armature cover. There were other bits of paper in there but this was the biggest piece
The brushes had good contact but they were quite worn and one had a knick out of the middle of it. . I have never seen the insides of a starter motor before so I don't know what they should look like or what should be clean etc. I have posted some shots of what I thought were susupect.
It did not have a seal for the armature cover and water has gotten in and the is rust on the parts as pictured.
Is this salvageable???
The inner coils that are screwed onto the casing had loose outer coverings and some of the outer covering was peeling off.
The retaining clip at the end of the spindle was loose. It did sit straight but had a lot of movement in it.
WHERE DO YOU GET NEW BRUSHES FROM?
