    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Good starting point for first time starter rebuilders

That might be a timely article, considering one of our members will be attempting a last effort to get his going when he gets his parts. Interesting that it is the same starter motor.
 
Yep. Looks like everything I've already done although I'm still curious about how to replace those bushings you are referring to inside the case. Especially since I'm not seeing them listed in the parts fiche (bush 1 and bush 2 refer to other things in the fiche).

Hopefully they'll be in tomorrow.
 
I sent the plastic insulator bushings if that is what you are referring to, for the power terminal. They should be on the post from the brush retainer in assembly order. The large black plastic piece slips through the hole from the inside of the motor case (brush housing, base plate, whatever it's called), the terminal post from the brushes goes through and the other pieces go on the outside of the case over the terminal, held together with a nut. Watch it when you take it apart, there is a little O-ring in between the plastic parts that might get lost. These might be the parts you did a work around repair on. You might be right about getting it tomorrow, we are not that far apart. They are in the first picture near his right thumb. the big bushing actually goes through the back base hole shown to the left of the starter motor. He has it held in place so you can see it as if it was a cutaway.

Yea I see that part and it will be nice to have the proper thing. I guess the metal ones inside each cap as I thought that is what people referred when they said it was binding up.

I'll swing by the PO after work tomorrow and see if they've arrived.
 
I doubt it was binding. If it was you would have had a bear of a time getting the end caps off in one piece. I think your commutator was just toast.
