Re: What would be a cool color to paint my flywheel
I took my starter apart, cleaned it, and replaced the brushes. I took some good quality (not $.99 walmart) enamel, and painted the starter motor frame (body) black. I painted the end bells red, also the 4 screws that hold on the feild coils I painted red. Looks good<br /><br />By the way, My Mark 55E starter had four brushes, not two. Bobb Grubbs told me that it was not a mercury starter (everything else being exactly the same, except the brushes), there was nothing he could do for me in the way of brushes, and he pretty much blew me off. I took the starter to a local motor shop that messes with delco-remy, they told me that it was uncommon but it was a mercury starter (the double brushes gave it more torque) and he sold me 4 brushes. It works OK now. Go figure? I hold no grudge, I recently placed another order with Grubb's.
