Wimpy Starter

Posted by MalcolmFischer on September 11, 1997 at 21:59:55

A bit ago I asked "the board" for advice on a starter that gave up too easily.Several were kind enough to offer sound hints, and we finally discovered the real cause by spinning the armature on a lathe - the armature had a slight bend in it.This meant that in one position, the brush contact was less than perfect and the starter would not offer up any torque.Replaced the armature, and it's crank city!Hope this might help anyone with a similar problem.
