I rebuilt the stock starter on the coach I swapped for the Ratrod toad. Basically, front bushing failure (worn egg shaped) was the crux of the problem. Of course, this led to overcurrent, meaning the commutator needed to be cleaned up. Bushing and brushes were cheap. Wear latex gloves, the soot is hard to wash off your hands.
Jim, is the 'hi torque' starter what used to be called 'magne-quench' or is that something else?
