Commutator clean I scraped between the commutator segments but not very aggressively..I was thinking of using a hack saw blade teeth (break end off to expose a pointed tip). Yes the brushes may be worn . before it went completely bad it had "flat spots " like you said. I enjoyed hitting it with a hammer. I could disassemble the entire thing and look for broken wire between the Magnets. The brushes are fixed so there is no "gain" adjustment. I will reclean first. I have another identical starter that works and I can compare resistance readings but it is in W Va. I've been traveling and now in FL. Yes the bronze bushings are worn. New brush kit and bushings is about $34. BTW the JB weld worked great holding the broken brush holder together. Thanks for info....I was getting frustrated.

It comes with brushes etc..But the brushes are OK i am concerned a magnet (s) are nad...a resistance check...????

Happy Saint Valentines Day! Nevada Hot Springs trail Hiking ...cold this day but springs were hot and relaxing...just a few people on trail...

Duh...I should have known that...

does it have a Float bowl ?

Cannot find out why 12 vdc 4 (4) commutator starter motor has no power. It will run full speed without load. But with any load will not turn. Repaired broken brush holder and insulated an internal wire to magnet that was bare and rubbing. cleaned commutator segments. Ohm readings while slowly rotating commutator was 1 ohm. When attempting to run with load it will not turn and Bat vdc only pulls down to12vdc. Cannot find an internal wiring schematic. I can buy a rebuild kit ~$35 but WTH?

I looked on Suzuki web page and could not find it

someone must have that ...I am sure !

Wow...Chainsaws, Axes and ATV's ..Oh My! 🎵... Someone forgot to tell him he's old....LOL 🥰

Chains break...My fried always carried an extra makeup link master link with his Kaw 1000. I was always afraid it would break and lock up the rear wheel.

Do you keep it in the barn or leave it out all the time?

Hey simple solution ...work her (I assume you refer to your machine is as a female... LOL) more often. Two weeks and no activity ...WTH!

I helped Grandpa check his fuel injected dodge. fuel pressure to injectors was 40 psi. His was low and start issuses until the pressure came up

BTW Given you have probably 20 lineal feet of Oak ; maybe 12 " diameter --- Given men always exaggerate..LOL i would say you had close to 2,000 lb in that trailer. Impressive

Fireplace and some wine.

That's a lot of wood to pull and split My foreman has limited tongue wight ....Don't strain your milk.

" Well endowed".LOL..Hey I worked for that It's painful to drop that ca$h... I am impressed with the trailer hitch weight. What is your limit?

I see Ebay has complete kit with cylinders and shoes for $169

Damn...frozen...So you put one in a vise to compress it and they did not move?

Gwbarm will know.. I had to replace several parts on my Yamaha. It is a 2017 model. However with the model number / serial # i was able to look up OEM yamaha parts non line. Hence, I was able to get Yamaha's part numbers. Then I went on EBAY and got one part and it had the Yamaha part number. Brand new part at less than 1/3 $. Likewise I got another part from Amazon; again ordering and making sure the part had the Yamaha part number.....Just saying. I like OEM parts but not the $.

Wow that's interesting. Two(2) cylinders. The brakes don't look rusty abused. Gwbarm and the Canadian dude on this site are very knowledgeable. Rebuild kits and honing the cylinders would be cheapest...I have bought Yamaha brake part$$$ Oh My!.

will you plane or check head with feeler gauges for flatness?

Glad to hear that. head bolts original?

The gas tank was rusted when I got him. I epoxy coated the inside of his tank. You know when I was in Croatia on a Nato highway cnstruction job the trucks were from the US...CAT with tandem front steering axles. But from the factory they had "Coated epoxy tanks!
