have you pulled the starter apart?..those frayed wires..were they part of the rotor windings?
Click to expand...

rotor windings, yes. i couldnt think what they were called. there are some that you can tell they broke.
so there are some broken windings....
 
thats definitely a problem...i think you should get a new or rebuilt one...i dont think its cost effective to get the windings repaired:frown:....hopefully thats your starting problem too!
 
Having open armature windings is not as bad as having shorted windings... but loosing any is really going to hurt the torque of the motor...
You can use an ohm meter to check on the commutator every pair of segments opposite from each other should show continuity... and should not be making electrical contact to their adjoining segments...

Like reddragon said, it is not practical to have a small armature rewound, unless you have an electric motor re builder in your area.... :smile:KennyV
