Starter Generator Burning Up Brushes
What would cause a starter generator to burn through a set of brushes really fast? I rebuilt mine this spring with new brushes and rotor, I've been fighting ignition issues so it hasn't been run much at all. I finally got my HEI setup working well and in 3 days of occassional use in the evenings it won't kick in. I checked the solenoid thinking no way the starter is burnt up but sure enough that was fine.
I have a set of brushes for it but don't want to put them on before I understand why it's going through them so fast. |

Re: Starter Generator Burning Up Brushes
So I was jumping to conclusions on this one before tearing into it.
I have some sort of short somewhere because my starter generator bench tests fine. I need to tear into it with a multi-meter to figure it out though. I turn the key switch on and press the pedal and I can hear the microswitch click, then I believe I hear the circuit breaker pop off. After I lift off the pedal the circuit breaker resets a bit later. This went from running like a dream to dead and I have no idea why. |
