You can usually take them into your local auto parts store and have them
test them, almost always for free.  If they want to charge, go somewhere
else.  The starter can be tested with a battery charger.  Just hook the +
lead to the post and the - lead to the body.  If it spins when you turn on
the charge, all is ok!

Dear List:

I patronized the Bristol British car flea market this morning, and came away
with a Midget alternator from a '77 and a Lucas starter bearing the numbers:

250798 12 V M35G 1 4 62.

The core is designated 5425 4042 12V 062.

The shaft is marked 5425 3141 FR9

Given the description of the different starter units in the Victoria British
catalog, it seems as though it would fit in a Midget.  Is there an easy way
to bench test the starter and the alternator?

Regards,

Charles
