Q:
How to install the brush assembly and Starter? Posted by Customer
A:
To install the brush assembly to the field frame, first, install the brushes to their holders and then assemble the insulated and grounded brush holders together with the V-spring and locate the unit on its support pin. Push the holders and spring to the bottom of the support and rotate the spring to engage the V in the support slot. Connect the ground wire to the grounded brush and the field lead wire to the insulated brush. Repeat the operations for the second set of brushes. Smear silicone oil onto the drive end of the armature shaft and slide the clutch assembly (pinion to the front) onto the shaft, followed by sliding the pinion stop/retainer onto the shaft with its open end facing away from the pinion. Stand the armature vertically on a piece of wood, position the snap-ring on the end of the shaft, and using a hammer and a piece of hardwood, drive the snap-ring onto the shaft. Slide the snap-ring down the shaft until it drops into its groove. Install the thrust collar on the shaft so that the shoulder is next to the snap-ring and use two pairs of pliers to squeeze the thrust collar and stop/retainer together until the snap-ring fully enters the retainer. Lubricate the drive housing bush with silicone oil and ensure that the thrust collar is in position against the snap-ring. Slide the armature and clutch assembly into the drive housing so that the shift lever engages with the clutch. Position the field frame over the armature and apply sealing compound between the frame and the solenoid case, then position the field frame against the drive housing, taking care not to damage the brushes. Lubricate the bush in the commutator end frame using silicone oil, place the leather brake washer on the armature shaft, and slide the commutator end frame onto the shaft. Reconnect the field coil connectors to the MOTOR terminal of the solenoid. To check the pinion clearance, connect a battery between the solenoid S terminal and ground and at the same time fix a heavy connecting cable between the MOTOR terminal and ground (to prevent any possibility of the starter motor rotating). As the solenoid is energized, it will push the pinion forward into its normal cranking position and retain it there. With the fingers, push the pinion away from the stop/retainer to eliminate any slack and then check the clearance between the face of the pinion and the face of stop/retainer using a feeler gauge. The clearance should be between 0.010 and 0.140 inches to ensure correct engagement of the pinion with the flywheel (or driveplate - automatic transaxle) ring-gear. If the clearance is incorrect, the starter will have to be dismantled again, and any worn or distorted components renewed, as no adjustment is provided for.

Q:
What should you check if the starter motor does not rotate when operated of the 1982 Pontiac Phoenix? Posted by Customer
A:
Ensure that the speed selector lever is in 'N' or ‘P’ for automatic transaxle or that the clutch pedal is depressed for manual transaxle. Verify that the battery is charged and all cables, at both the battery and starter solenoid terminals, are secure.
