Was it 6 volt or 12? ----- Original Message ----- From: stanley/ Randolph To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, September 25, 2009 3:17 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Starter motor problems
Reminds me of when I was living in Seattle and had a '53 Cadillac. When I got it back from a transmission shop they had stolen my new battery and put their old weak one in it. I also parked my old Caddy on an incline and would push it to begin the coast and it would start at about 5 mph. I only had to drop it in second and wait... That was my first car and it was awesome: 27 mpg and air conditioning and automatic and all the other happy amenities they stuck on them. It had a generator, not an alternator.

I rode all day today and parked about six times. Each time, I scope a small inclide and park on the upper end. Only had to really push start it once. But, it'll be good to get the starter functional again.

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Starter motor problems If you have trouble finding brushes.... look for a shop in your area that rebuilds alternators and starters. I rebuilt my starter with new brushes from a local shop.

Has 12 volts ? Pull the starter and the end cap. Clean and rebuild.
