thanks man, more of a necessity then anything because it is cheaper to rebuild what i have then replace it. i do like tinkering, but i tell you on this starter....wow...pita!

its done, but only after making SERVERAL mistakes.

it bench tests and spins fast. stick a fork in it.

pics show how to check gap using 3 C-Cell batteries. positive to ground....negative to switch terminal....push in plunger....it holds....check gap and adjust the linkage.

mine is at .062.....book says between .010 and .142...so i split the difference.

next up the generator and the rebuilt harmonic balancer should be here today or tomorrow.
