Hope you guys don't mind me asking this starter motor question again,
but I had no responses! Has it got y'all stumped, or is it just a crazy
question? I really don't want to guess and re-install wrongly.
Manual says "NOTE: When reassembling the starter drive, the locating nut
must be re-caulked to the armature shaft."
I presume the 'locating nut' is actually what the manual calls the Shaft
Nut that is locked with a split pin. I'm guessing that, as this can only
be tightened to the nearest split pin hole, it needs to be 'gummed up'
to stop it rattling. Am I anywhere near the truth?
If I'm right, what is it that I use to do the caulking? Something
special, or a spot of bathroom silicone sealant?
Even my supplier Steve, at Cape, is at a loss on this!
Thanks again, as ever.
