Starter Rebuild
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 10:33 pm
Have been accumulating bits to rebuild the starter for my Seven - a Lucas M35G-1. I got lucky and found a NOS armature so don't have to try cleaning up the old one on my wood lathe.
Would love some advice from those of you who've rebuilt these before - both any general advice and tips but also have a few specific questions:
Any recommendations on removing the drive end bushing?
Also need to clean up the body. The coils look just fine, can't think of a good reason to dismantle further. I assume a bath in kerosene or mineral spirits is the best path and wouldn't hurt anything inside?
Last, any guidance on removing and replacing the brushes? I plan try to desolder them but not sure how crammed in that tube they are nor how to work the replacements back in.
