    Great video guys, err those starters, that copper contact is meant to be unequal lengths. First side lands and powers sent to half the windings, pulling the armature into mesh and slowly turning. Once in, the trigger lever is lifted letting the short side make contact and wham, full power to rotation. It might only be stuck brushes making it play up, could save yourself a few quid there 🤞🤞

    Stripped so many of those starters as an apprentice on Sheffield busses. It was worn but correct with unequal lengths. Doesnt make contact until the armature moves out, the lever lifts and it gets full power. You.need a special tool to unscrew the return spring in the centre of the armature at the comm end. Good luck!

      People are t worst creatures ever to populate Earth since the beginning of time..
      At least all of them basically knew who was going to eat those that were meek, are weak.
      Nowadays one doesn't have a clue as to who is a decent person, because not even those that are supposed to be religious leaders, are city officials will commit the worst crimes imaginable.
      Those who are supposed to protect and serve the public.
      Are the ones that will either beat someone without asking single question, are commit crimes themselves to convict someone while lying to cover one another.
      While looking at someone straight in there eye, as they're swearing to tell the truth on the Bible.
      Mean while the Judge, the head of the DA's office is made deals with lawyers supposed to be working for the young man barely 19 here on charges of evading arrest when he never knew that he had a squad car 4 behind him, and truthfully it wasn't him that had ran through a red light nearly hitting another vehicle going through the red light
      Only the driver of the car that committed the crimes, had turned into a gas station when he was beside a delivery truck, and hid behind the store as the squad car locked his eye on the kid pulling out of the parking lot of another gas straight after getting his last 20 gallons worth of gas so he could get to work next morning, but had paid with cash and didn't get his receipt.
      Old man running the store had 10 customers, bad eye sigh, and never really looked at the kid, because he was too busy looking down the shirt of his employee putting cartons of smokes under the counter
      The defense lawyer made a deal with the DA to swap the innocent kid for his others client busted with enough crack to get the whole neighborhood stoned for a week plus he had two pistols in the back seat, but he gave his lawyer 25 grand in cash
      Who gives the DA 15 thousand cash for his cut

    What a day! Only one scrap battery on the Foden, then to ask if would start!!!! - First turn on tick over! - What a machine! Space heater - repaired. Adam works better at normal working temperature, which brings us to the engine. It could have been much worse! Starter motor will be a cheap repair - Did Seb write his name on the replacement after he'd cleaned and polished it? The engine started well, no easy start required, it sounds well, then things went down hill, but things could have been much worse, parts (in stock) can be replaced, and that will make another video to entertain the viewers. Okay, things didn't go 100% as planned, but still think of it as a good day. 🤗👍🤗

In pack section I specialised in L60's, CV8/12's and 'Merlins', but we often had to help the Betty-Mech's out with their K60's, Golf 4's and J60's because the Betty's were too slow (they had massive NAAFI breaks, drinking gallons of tea, eating 'bockies', talking shite and playing cards (Nom's and Hunt The Cu%t)). I absolutely hated doing K60's and Golf 4's, so you have my sympathy here, lads!

    You should have been a surgeon, the way you take these things apart and put them back together again, should call you Dr joe.

      Not sure Adam's liberal use of a hammer is viewed as good surgical practice by the BMA though. 🙂

    I once did an oil change and only had the drain plug finger-tightened (idiot mistake).
    A mile down the road the oil-check light came on, and I luckily pulled off the road within a few seconds.
    All the oil had escaped and left a trail 300ft long and a puddle where I parked. Filled it back up with oil, actually tightened the plug, and drove off.
    It would have been a shame if the engine went, I had spent the last year building a replacement engine and this was only the 2nd drive.

    Well it would have needed an oil change anyway. Let he who has never cocked up raise his hand (I think that I only cocked up once last week but there is still time for the ones I haven't yet spotted to turn up)
