starter armature shaft

["David Zakarian" <arshog@xxxx>]

Just tried to fire up(for the first time) the C cvt. turned over a couple times and then dead shorted(I find out two hours later after trying several ideas). I find out the starter armature shaft is in two pieces and dead shorting. Sure pulls the battery down in a hurry. Anyone ever had this happen before? Just curious. Anyway the grand firing has been postponed to the first part of next week(after the rebuilder tries once more to supply a starter that will turn over more that 4 times).
