Nice story Bob. 

I still have my 1967 bike, which I used to go to high school these days. Fi=
xed the ball head bearing with parts from a bike museum in January this yea=
r! In winter time the crank bearing needs repair the same way=E2=80=A6

I also am busy with a total overhaul of my 1989 race bike. Problem with tha=
t are the Japanese parts, which are NLA for over 20 years now. Good news is=
 all bearings are o.k. =E2=80=93 new grease and the bike is ready for anoth=
er decade.

Chain rings are replaced with a new type.

 

Cheers,

Back to the starter this afternoon.

Hi Barrie,

   You are spot-on about new washing machines.  My sister has had three exp=
ensive washers in ten years, each beyond economical repair when it failed. =
By contrast, my Maytag is now more than 30 years old.  They once advertised=
 that the loneliest man in town was the Maytag repair man. Not any longer..=
=2E.

   Two or three years ago I took my erratic alternator to a shop that many =
in the CT MG Club regard highly.  With sadness, the proprietor recommended =
a new unit that he said was not great, but that its cost would be less than=
 his repairing the old one with second-rate parts now available. 

   Similarly, the old Electrolux motor. Apparently there are no motors to b=
e had, so I bought a new one vacuum cleaner, another Electrolux. Shop owner=
 was son of the shop founder. He advised to not expect 45 years of service =
from the new one.  Some might say that sucks.

Bob

Now back to the program !

The same value is measured on the starter ingoing post.

So no tension loss on the electrical circuits.


Now there is a discussion:

Repair the starter or buy a new one.

High torque starter =3D =E2=82=AC 325,00, which is pricy

Original starter on exchange base =3D =E2=82=AC 200,00

New starter Powerlite =3D =E2=82=AC 239,00

New starter looking like a Lucas (white labelled) =3D =E2=82=AC 135,00

ystem-mgb-electrical-mgb/ 

 

https://www.angloparts.com/en/catalogues/part/26883/082.024 

 

There is a local electrical car parts repair shop, where the alternator has=
 been repaired +/- 10 years ago.

They did a good job.

I assume they can fix the starter as well, but what is better =E2=80=93 a n=
ew one (Angloparts =3D =E2=82=AC 152 or =E2=82=AC 135,00 at octagonparts) o=

Yes, measure the voltage right on the battery posts (adding the two voltage=
s together if twin 6v batteries) when cranking, then compare that with the =
voltage at the battery cable stud on the solenoid and starter body when cra=
nking.  The difference between the two is what is being lost in the connect=
ions, a volt or so is normal but it shouldn't be much more than that.

 

If you get much less than 10v at the battery posts then that is the problem=
=2E

Next job is the slow starter motor. 

I already cleaned the battery posts clamps and the post of the battery to c=
hassis cable.

Also cleaned thoroughly the chassis to engine cable. 

Nothing helped so far.

So next will be verifying the battery voltage when cranking. I assume it wi=
ll be o.k. as the battery is new.

Following step will be measuring the voltage over the starter motor +12V to=
 the engine.

When o.k., the starter is suspect. As it never was overhauled, this is logi=
cal.

Nice winter job.

I had the same problem. I disconnected the fuel hose, added a a long bit of=
 hose and with the coil disconnected, used the fuel pump to pump old fuel i=
