: Hi Gordon,
: There never seems to be a finale with a Model 'A'.
: Two things come to mind from what you did or didn't do during rebuild.
: Is there a good ground between your starter and the bell housing? Sometimes paint will act as an insulator and the bolts and/or lock washers will not cut into the paint to form a good ground. Continuity test from a head bolt to a clean spot on the starter casing should tell.
: When the armature was turned, were the spaces between the copper undercut?
: Let us know what you find.
: Dave.

Hi, Dave
Did not check ground to the bell housing.A useful element to remember in the future.
We have an antique machine for turning commutators.It also has a tool attached for undercutting the mica grooves once the surface has been turned.
Peace,
Gordon
