    Starter motor rebuild

    There must be somewhere where they make sheets of various thicknesses and curvature of magnets. They seem to be made of composite carbon easily ground to size. I would even say the diameter of the magnet would be pretty standard ..... and the magnets are just cut pieces glued in. The diameter...

    Starter motor rebuild

    And one final time just so we know the question. I don't mean to be rude ! Does anybody know where on this planet people who can restore old starter motors. In particular to fit (or at least locate ) new magnets ? There are many technical issues with this simple question and no place I know...

    GSX 250 starter solenoid issue

    Update: Glue arrives tomorrow. Worst case scenario is to a local motor electrical place here to sort. Seems this sort of thing is well known to these people. what amazes me is that this exact starter motor is unavailable now. not even a replacement made for the GSX 250 is available. A few for...
