750SF starter and genny questions

[chrisk]

I've scrounged through my bits box and need some help.

Apart from the two long screws, it looks like I have everything for a genny rebuild.

Is it safe to loosen the two big screws and pull the magnet winding thingies out so I can clean up the rusty body, or will the wires break off easily? I was going to chuck the whole lot into a drum of molasses but maybe the magnets need to come out first. Any thoughts?

Also, I'm missing some bits (most of the starter motor) can anyone tell me what's not there?

I have:
1 x armature
1 x aluminium end with a planetary gear thingy running around the inside
1 x aluminium end, with brushes in it
1 x pressed metal cover, that clearly fits over the top of previous item
That's it.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Chris

It might help to put up some pics of the starter.
My experience with genny was that my impact driver couldn?t loosen the field winding screws. I managed to clean it up pretty well anyway. It had a broken wire that was an easy solder repair.
Paul recently refurbished his so can advise.

You will need a press to remove the field winding shoes. Support the field shoe on a mandrel inserted in the dynamo body and supported on V blocks and use a mighty screwdriver bit with a T bar under the ram of the press. Best left where they are unless the coils need a re-wind.

As mentionned, if it's just for cleaning purposes, leave the magnets in there.
I have just reconditionned a dynamo so can give some tips whilst still fresh.
For the sarter motor, I don't have a parts list to hand. Have a look on the Laverda Paradies site.
