Leaned the machine back removed the motor cap to find the culprit(hopefully), the dirty starter switch. |

in a lot of Delco motors. Especially those used in the early rollermatic machines and in the Bendix Gyromatics from 1950-1958.
Switches are mechanical and so they will fail first. Dirt and arcing are the culprits on contacts. Whenever I rebuild a Gyromatic I always break down the centrifugal switch , lube the weight and clean the contacts with emery paper. You want those contact buttons to be as smooth and flat as possible.
Good work guys, this is an awesome site for us all. |
