Starter motor
oldchuffer:
I found on disassembly that the field coil wires had become detached and i proceeded to solder them to the terminal, BUT then i checked continuity and discovered the nut on the terminal and the motor body had continuity but I thought the casing should be insulated from the terminal, does that sound right?
IF its a case of the insulation breaking down then i assume i need to remove the terminal and fashion a grommet , again does that sound right?
(but ease of photography i desoldered the join.)
Many thanks for any advice.

I would have thought that the motor body provides the earth side of the connection as the motor is fed by one cable so needs an earth connection too
But I guess that you need to know what the resistance was for the field coils to ensure the field coil is not in short circuit?
No doubt there is an expert here

I'm sure that the terminal is insulated from the body. When I sorted out my connection the other day I could see some insulation below the outside insulating washer.

Thanks, yes i was thinking the same.

Nope it goes via brush to commutator
