Re: IML: 60 starter heat saturation



Hi 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 of
this kind of starter motors? The solenoid, brushes, bearings ?

Thanks,

Robert
