Starter Motor Not Working

<< < (2/6) > >>

mike the bike:
That com looks OK to me, just needs a clean up as Logo suggests.  When I worked for Hotpoint, there were brushes that looked a bid ragged and sparked a lot so..
Clean everything up
Clean in commutator
Fit new brushes

Drew400:
Thank you all very much indeed!

I guess my manliness was inded tested to the limit with the car battery, but I got nothing when I shorted across the solenoid (using a spare earth lead rather than a screw driver). I am (was) indeed happy with the earthings, etc. because it was spinning on previous (post-rebuild occassions) and it was spinning at the moment it went wrong.

I will now do a damned good cleaning job on it and brush out (air compressor?) all the innards. I'll then reassemble it and report back. Job for Sunday.

Have a good weekend all, whatever you're doing.

Cheers, D.

Hey Drew,

If you need spares for your starter motor, give us a shout as I have a couple in various states of repair.

Drew400:
Thank you both. I'll pm you if I need anything.

Cheers,

D.
