Rich,
I had my starter repaired by a local guy. You need to find a shop that is
familiar with Fiat starters. If you tell him the starter is from a Moto
Guzzi he won't help you.

So I replaced the 5 year old battery thinking that was a good start. No go. I pulled all of the wire connections and cleaned them, checked with multi-tester, all fine. No go. Today I pulled the starter apart. First thing I noticed was a somewhat wet look around the flywheel. New rear seal needed. The next was that one of the brushes fell off from it's soldered joint and the wire is in pretty shabby condition. One of the other brushes looks worse for wear also. Has anyone been able to source the brushes? They are marked MG3. I will be hitting the local rebuild shops this week but don't know if I'll be able to cross reference to something. I know Mark and Moe either rebuild or get them rebuilt but the rest of the unit looks in good shape so I would rather try to replace the brushes. Any ideas gang? Thanks Rich |
