D318 pony starter needed

Hi Catboy1,
Have you thought of just getting it repaired as the bits are still avalible?

Regards

Can you get a new bendix assembly or individual parts for it?! I assumed it would be obsolete. I imagine if the commutator is burning that there will be a short in the windings. Is that repairable?

I would take it to an auto electric rebuilder. Parts are still available. Or just call one using the deco rely tag #. Get an estimate of rebuilt cost. I have a used one in fair shape for $100.00 + shipping from So Cal. if interested.

The tag is missing off of mine. Do you have that number? How much would shipping to V0R2J0 in BC be?

Delco # 1107030 Except for the nose piece that is a very common type starter in the 1950s. Rebuilt many of them. See what you can find. want to bench test the one I have before we go to any more trouble.

If the deal with oldbeek does not work out, I have one I can part out or sell whole

Buying one in BC would save a lot of UPS cost. I can't imagine he cant get it rebuilt. I checked with a local rebuilder(small shop) and he said all the parts were available. I have not heard back from him. AN add here Goat motor, and various stuff, has a starter in Stanwood WA

Thanks oldbeek.
He may not have a rewind or auto electric outfit where he lives, that is a remote area.
Heck we are near a city of 80,000 people (Prince George B.C.) and there are no shops like that here either, that I know of.
Would probably have to to the big city (Vancouver B.C.)

The parts I have aren't going anywhere anyway, I'm too busy to try and market spare 9U bits.

Regards.
