Hi Rich,
I have four Marelli starters and all of them have the spring. As I
posted last night, all have the fiber washer, tab washer w/tabs towards
the end cap, washer (approx. 1mm thick) and then the spring in that
order. Here's the measurements of the spring: 21.5mm o.d, 18.0mm i.d.,
21.8mm long, wire thickness is approx. 1.65mm. Looks like five pounds of
pressure when compressed 13mm (measured on a bathroom scale of dubious
accuracy).

Looked in my spring drawer and found a nice gold cad plated one of
nearly identical dimensions, so something similar must be available at
the local hardware store. If not I'll send you the one I found for free.
Cheers,

Hmmm, There was no spring at the end, but thanks for taking the time to
respond. Mark E. if your out there, do you know about a spring under the
end
cap of (all) Marelli starters?

Thanks,
Rich

 Hi Rich,
The 2nd edition V700 manual has the best and only correct illustration I

have. The order it shows is: fiber washer, tab washer (w/tabs towards
the end cap), washer (your shims?), spring. From what I remember that's
the assembly order in the few I've had apart as well. I can check to
make sure tomorrow evening if needed. Cheers,

 Does anyone have an exploded diagram of a Marrilli starter or know of
where
one is online? I was troubleshooting a starter problem (and cleaning it
up
and making it purdy, when I knocked the series of washers, that go under

the
end cap (brush side), out of the order that I had them stacked in. I
want to
be sure they go back the way they came out. These consist of a fiber
(insulating) washer, three shim washers and a large washer with three
tabs
bent at about a 30 degree angle. What order from the windings up do
these go
in? And the washer with the tabs, do they bend towards the end cap or
towards the windings. Right now from the windings up, I have the fiber
washer, the shims and then the washer with the tabs bent towards the end
cap.



Thanks,

Rich
