I took off the starter today to put in new brushes. The brushes look good, but the commutator is smooth at the grooves where the brushes sit. I took it to a starter place to show them what I found. The man at the starter place said: Don't worry about the grooves in the armature its not like a generator that needs them to charge. Put it back together and enjoy. It kinda makes sense , but I thought I would check with the Professionals here first. Im learning, I think. Should I try to file some of the commutator groove back?
