Good one Pau! thanks....
any one got any electrical testing tips....  :D
 
Hi Paul Its old and seems to lack power turns off the bike but speed varies and usually needs a manual twist to get going. Is it a gonner?
 
HI ANDY, No its not a gonner  as you can strip ,clean and you can still get new brush's if there needed.
regards andy
 
A few years ago I needed to have a Bosch starter (off a Guzzi) tested. Went to a couple of places and they threw there hands up in horror; "We can't test that, it's Bosch! We don't have the equipment". I was directed to a crusty old timer; he clamps the starter on the bench, cables it up to a 12V battery so it spins over and then jams a broom handle into the drive gear. Slivers of broom handle fly all over the place! "Nothing wrong with that starter" he grunts. And he was right.

I used to know an electric motor place in Brixton and they where excellent completely non bias. But I live in Ireland now so he's a bit far. I stripped it a while back and it was looking ok but I will do the field coil test on it I think I and try and get behind them and give them a good clean.
 
Here is a starter rebuild similar to a Lav starter  :P  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EHQJDhxZc0

Thats the same test a crusty old auto sparky did to mine,only he rubbed it on a softwood column next to his bench.
 
Commutator. Try pulling it apart, taking note of the shims on either end of the armature, and give everything a good clean. Support the armature and give the commutator a bit of a rub with fine wet and dry or crocus paper, ensuring that the mica insulators between the segments remain recessed. On re-assembly use a wire hook to pull back the brush springs as it's a pita otherwise.
