Starter -  reconstruction

Pictures of the cleaning and rebuilding of the starters follow. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the original condition

Here you can see all the parts and their mounting positions.

It seems Mr. Honda loves washers

I cleaned the mechanical parts with mineral spirits and the electrical parts with white spirit, sanded the case and painted it.

The electrical part of the starter

I sanded down the collector and worked on the coals. You have to make sure that there is no abraded copper between the collector fields, otherwise there will be a short circuit and thus a reduction in performance.

The excitation winding can be cleaned with spirit.

The middle part of the starter also wants attention.

The gears should be carefully lubricated with graphite grease.

And here is the assembled starter, ready for installation.

A final test on a battery showed that the measure again led to the starter turning quickly and thus to the desired success.
