Hi John (and Andrew) my rebuilt starter didn’t do anything, it didn’t even spin, so I’ve got it off the car and on the bench, I’m charging up the battery (6 volt 80 amp Exide, about a year old) just to be sure and will commence bench testing tomorrow.
I’ve already spun it up for a minute with a windy gun because it felt a bit stiff, that seems to have loosened things off a bit, so that might help...it may even bed the brushes in a bit more too.
I thought I’d done such a good job I didn’t bother to bench test it...that’ll teach me to be a smartarse....
