PRESTOLITE STARTER ASSEMBLY
Before assembling, soak the bronze bearings in oil.
They are absorbent bearings, designed to hold
up
to
25 percent of their own weight
in
oil. Be sure the felt
oil pad is in the outer end of the commutator end
bearing.
When the motor is assembled, check the armature
end play. It should be between 0.005-inch (0.127 mm)
and 0.030-inch
(0.762
mm). Adjust end play by
adding or removing washers on the commutator end
of the armature.
Before installing, check the pinion clearance. Proper
clearance is important to ensure starter engagement.
