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.
