I used scotchbrite on the commutator. I don't think there's aluminum oxide in scotchbrite. I was speaking generally about the armature, commutator and shaft.trek97 said:Just making sure you know. When working on a commutator of any kind and/or seating brushes. Only use flint paper, never anything w aluminum oxide.
Because its on its last legs anyways. If you did use something other than flint. It will get you by.

Edit: Nevermind. Scotchbrite has Alox, which is a trade name for a variation of aluminum oxide. hmmm. That DB Electric starter will be here before this hits the road. Maybe that goes straight in.
Thanks, Mike. Yeah, that's where I got the idea from. Murray recommended them for the GL. They aren't serviceable like the Bosch or Valeo, but at $58 just throw them away and buy a new one. A lot of forum guys buy two and carry a spare for long hauls.Maritime said:Irk, my DB starter for the GL has been excellent you should be happy with it. they are way less pricey than anything else and quality seems great so far.
No kickstarter after 73. Like a Bug, it bump starts pretty easily in 2nd gear.canyoncarver said:That one doesn't have a kickstarter?
