You and others were the professor(s) and I was student, but I sure have leaned a lot and the intimidation factor is just about gone!

Great job Joe, By the time you get all of the little quirks worked out of the set you'll know those generators like the back of your hand!!!!

Give the starter a whack with a hammer. When the brushes get too worn to make good contact on the armature commutator, the pull-in winding of the starter solenoid will not get its ground and the solenoid will pull maybe 10 amps as the hold-in winding still gets its ground to the solenoid case. If the starter works after the hammer encouragement, the brushes are worn out, or the armature has an open winding(usually where the bars are soldered to the commutator risers.

That's excellent advice, but he already got the problem fixed

Mine had the same issue, found the starter lockout switch out of adjustment.

This is a year-old post by Joesco. But, I'm curious as to what you are describing as the starter lock out switch, and how it is adjusted. Please provide more info.
