quick correction...its the starter not the generator. i understand what you are saying and i actually saw this when i polished the armature with fine grit sandpaper. also the brushes are sitting deeper in their keepers indicating armature wear. eventually it will wear beyond service, but i made the decision to leave as is since the car wont be driven much. A new armature and drive wasn't really in the cards.

good news though...the starter is super easy to get in and out for repairs and as long as I have a good hill to push it down and drop the clutch it'll start. just ask "let the ride decide"

i did test the starter motor after figuring out that one of the keeper bolts was grounding out. lets just say this starter motor will not have problems turning this motor over....it spins like a freaking crazy fool! and at WAY more rpm then it will ever see in service.

thanks for the sharp eyes though!
