[Mgs] [Mg-t] Starter rebuild...

[Dan DiBiase]

Not sure why all the 'B's' when you post from your Galaxy, Rick, but reading
the posts with them reminds me of Mushmouth -

(You'll get the idea in the first
15 seconds or so..... ;-)

Chances are, you have aluminum replacement coils in your starter.
Originally,
the brushes were crimped to the aluminum, as you cannot solder
them. Might
have been spot welded. When brushes need to be replaced,
and the field coil is
made of aluminum, best to replace the field coils with
those made of copper.

Everything is clean and lubricated, where appropriate. B Bushes are just fine,
oil soaked and their journals are smooth.

conductors from the field, were just pinched into the slot in the inner end of
the post. B They were quite grimey at the contact point, so they've been like
this for quite a while.

verify that is correct? B Considering the current drawn, I can't imagine that
a simple press-fit connection is valid - but I could be wrong. B Your
thoughts?
