Hi Robert and Kenyon,I believe your advice about having the replacement starter rebuilt is sound. I've talked to a few car buddies here and there is a shop real close who supposedly does real good work on old motors, generators and the like. I'll probably end up having both rebuilt...just in case. Robert, I'll let you know what they do and how much it costs after I speak to them. Maybe we can work something out to get you a rebuilt starter after I have a spare. Thanx again guys...and Kenyon, I wish it was only the Imperial that had those sagging parts!!!Tom----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:25 AM Subject: Re: IML: 60 starter heat saturationHi Tom, I thought that I was the Dutchman here on the IML, LOL !!Btw, I have exactly the same problems with my 1960 starter as you described.Everytime the engine is hot after a long run and I have to re-start it, I am sending out a special prayer to the Imperial Gods.So far this worked for me, but I am sure that I am walking on thin ice here..So I am looking for a good core to rebuild, you see here in my country no one can do a rebuild of such a starter, because of the lack of spare parts. So I have to find me a good core that can be rebuild in your country. As far as my knowledge goes I can use a 59 till 61 starter from either a Chrysler New Yorker or an Imperial from that area. I fully agree with Kenyon that you better have that starter rebuild (the one that Bob send you) before putting it in your car. That way you avoid that you are forced to a rebuild later on. After all these parts are allmost 50 years old, so a rebuild wouldn't hurt.Question to anyone on the list: what usually is included with a rebuild ofthis kind of starter motors? The solenoid, brushes, bearings ?

All responses are welcome, even those that make me look/feel like an idiot Thanks Tom 60 4dr Crown SouthamptonThey just wear and get loosey. All of the later cars need starters when I get them, and I have 2 spares on hand for when Iaquire new vehicles just in case, since I buy them and sell them from timeto time to fund the others that are keepers. The '60 starter is somewhat rare, so hanging onto your cores and rebuilding them will be a prudent move. I encourage you to rebuild one of them rather than running used. I'd probably just rebuild Bob's and dothe install once, since a rebuild usually only takes a few days and reallyisn't that much money compared to other adventures to be had under the hood. Not doubting Bob's product here, mind you, but used is used and rebuilt is rebuilt... You'll be surprised at how much more efficient aredone unit is, and how much satisfaction you'll get each time you hear itspinning hard and fast in comparison to what you put up with before, but that sorta goes for each sagging part that you do yourself, doesn't it?
