Thanks Dan. B Android e-mail tool only allows fancy-schmancy text, with no simple ASCII text option. B Sorry.

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

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.
