Afternoon gentlemen,
I pulled the short straw and have a couple of Lucus M45G starters to reco.
They get used for hours on end but at a low load.
The plan is to set the armature up in a 4 jaw with the commutator end in a fixed steady to re-machine the center which has been damaged at some stage.
Under cut the segments a 1/32". 37 segments, 36 would have been so much easier.
Grind the unworn area down the match the worn area.(needs about 1mm off dia) Or turning it if I cant fit the grinder in. There are a few comments around that turning can loosen segments(though plenty of people are turning them)
Sound like a plan?
As for the brushes there is a 2.5mm spacer on the commutator end of the shaft. Can I move that to the drive end so stop the brushes hanging over the end on the commutator or is the commutator gong to try and center itself, wearing the washer out in no time?
