STARTER / GENERATOR FAILURE ANALYSIS

[@cycleguy666]

Good starter / generator to save as a core or if you need a bearing or pulley some day!! I wouldn't rebuild it!! Some day you may be able to make two old ones into a working unit!! 😊

[@digginrelicsintn9952]

Believe I would buy a new one.

[@Jamwcjconn]

Replace the whole thing 👍

[@bend.4506]

Another great videos! Definitely would buy a new one at that point

[@antoniomarc7174]

That is a 100% replacement.

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Excellent

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

Never seen an armature worn down about an 1/8"? Bearings and brushes are easy, but not that?

[@jimbrewer2893]

The case in the steel bin. The core in the copper bin. Or is that done anymore?

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

I don’t think so. It all goes in one big pile.

[@ericfoguth4385]

What should the voltage output be

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

13.8-14.5

[@ericfoguth4385]

Should it be steady or will it bounce up and down,I'm having an issue where the voltage drops under 12 when I'm under 5 or 6 mph and the gage is bouncing from 13.8 to 15 volts even at a steady speed of 12 mph,any help would be greatly appreciated

[@nashguy207]

That one was fried! Replace with a new one.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Burnt electrical smell and differential fluid are aweful. Lol

[@leehuff2330]

I didn't know they even still made starter- generators. I haven't seen one on any engine dating to later than the late 1960s.

[@ericfoguth4385]

Golf carts still use them

[@bernardpoole9123]

Put it in lathe turn it down make a scraper from hacksaw blade clean the Mica out put new brushes & springs in

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Heck no. New one is 75$

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Right hand threads, look at the end of the shaft.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

It’s actually keyed. No threads. Pulley should just slide off

[@SchoolcraftVideo]

Replacement is in order.

[@mikevanhook6683]

Just replace it and be done

[@georgemartinezjr]

The labor cost of rebuilding it with parts. Buy a new one save the pully and any good screws. This if you. Needed if you loose one

[@steveriggenbach90]

Replace it. Not wort money, time and warranty issues. Can’t break broke. Learn a LOT by tearing it apart. Take care

[@davidlong2048]

Just FYI, I was reading reviews of the cheap 140 dollar ish starters on Amazon and they aren't any good, I'd like to see what a real mechanic with experience has would say to that.

[@gillgetter3004]

Replace it👍

[@rodsharpley6956]

You didn't show the magnets and windings inside the housing. I'm sure they're burned too. Not worth messing with. Junk it

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

There are no magnets they have field windings

[@mr1pearl]

New !

[@ablelock]

Definitely nothing but replace it

[@philliphall5198]

Just order a replacement and save your time,losing money looking at it

[@hydrospeedex]

Replace it...

[@donaldboley771]

Buy a new one. Never had any luck with rebuild.

[@Turfer1979]

There still used on most golf carts. At $75 replace it, 20 years ago I was paying 3-$400 for a new one so we would always replace brushes. That commutator was worn badly, a lot of hours on it

[@fwflyer78]

That starter gen is smoked. Not a candidate for repair.

[@philliphall5198]

First

[@jjjuarez312]

Order a new one rebuilding it ain't worth the time.. unless the customer is in a bend

[@lewishazelwood1733]

Buy new😂

[@ice4278]

I would buy a new because you don't know what else is wrong with it.

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

Smells like cooked brushes to me?

[@wendelldavis9272]

recycle, scrap
