Wow. You don't know how much I appreciate your video. I swear I thought I was an idiot because I couldn't get them all 4 to stay without one coming out. Thanks.
I have a different starter that's still in the car, but at least you've given me enough information to start. You've been very helpful to a lot of us who are surprised a video like this exists. Thank you.
Well you definitely helped me. Thanks for this very informative video. I now am absolutely positive that I can now install new brushes in my Onan generator engine. I am very appreciative.
Thanks old mate, it helped big time. Such a simple thing can be such a pain. I had to tap the wires flatter so they go in & don't spin around & spit it back out while your dealing with the other 3.
I did a engine swap and did not notice where you connect the battery cable that post was hanging out of the starter, still works. I have worked on starters before, this little trick should make life a whole lot less painful.
+59chevt That comes from many failures along the way Tom. I hope my lessons help many to avoid all the trials I have gone through to be able to provide an easier way. Cheers my Friend! Zip~
I did this on a Grasshopper mower starter. If this is the same size, I used a 3/4" pvc pipe. Fit perfectly. You can insert the pipe a little at a time while pushing back each bushing with your finger. The armature just slid in and pushed the pipe out.
Did this last year on my Tecumseh starter . Fought for about 40 minutes to get those brushes on even had to bring the wife in for another hand . Thank you for sharing this trick of the trade.
Awesome video. Thanks. I've fought with two of these. And have almost decided to just start buying new ones. But now, I don't. You've just saved me and my customers a lot of money.
Very nice video! Now I just to figure out how to put my Onan Elite 140 starter back together. It's enclosed by a cover plate instead. Thanks for the ideas!
Yea Zippo found out my motor is not rated for salt water but can be used occasionally as long as you rinse every use with fresh water which I did royally so the rubber o rings failed and I got a lot of what looked like rust but no signs of water so I have to replace two o rings and armature not too bad,so thanks to ure video I learned how!Thank You from a beginner!!
Thanks Howard! That's what I like to hear. I've been fighting sound issues for a while now, but have that worked out. I just have to re-train my brain to make sure I'm speaking into the external microphone lol. Cheers! Zip~
I don't watch your channel ... until now. I'm trying to get the brushes back on myself on mower starter (one you're working on looks nearly identical to mine) and had the same idea of wire. I just wasn't finding any stiff enough. Didn't know there was such a thing as jeweler's wire. [Also found piano wire an hour later]. Only there's enough headroom on the brushes to allow the wire to slide under the bridge piece of the holder, so I need thicker wire. Or modify. Gives me a solid idea for a product.
You can also use a socket of the appropriate size. I worked for Delco Remy and all of our brush assemblies had a plastic disc holding the brushes in place and you just pressed the brush plate over the Commutator. So there are tools out there for this task. The thing is designing a universal brush holder that would work with all types of starters. Cheers! Zip~
@@ZippoVarga I worked for a vintage engine parts restoration company rebuilding/restoring 12v motors used on the car, ie. wipers, which are virtually the same as this. We had a simple, extremely easy to use tool for holding brushes back. I've searched for it high and low and everywhere in-between and I cannot find nothing like them anywhere. I do not know if they are used in another industry or not, but it seems likely as obscure as they are. They worked like a charm, were easy to install and remove, and I never ran into a brushes or holders I couldn't use them on. Astounding little things.
I also modified simple 16 gauge stainless wire and got the brushes seated on the commutator once I figured out how it needed to be formed. Getting to that point took a little time, but reproducing it 3x was easy. Got the job done at any rate. The video though is the most helpful one I found among all that was found.
Great video...Wish I had seen it BEFORE I pulled out the end with the brushes! Now I'm trying to figure out how to get them back in place. I have an idea to keep the brushes from moving ahead...won't know if it worked until i try it. Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Nice video. I had a different approach myself. I put the squares,(forgot the official term), into the slots first, then put the core in next, and then clamped the springs down with my fingers and inserted them into the slot above the squares. Kept the squares from popping out while putting the core into position
I use some of those tiny worthless allen wrenches for holding the brushes, but I didn't know the trick with the socket, thanks for that! Before the allen wrenches I made some with some big paperclips. The hardest part of the repair is removing that little clip, its maddening! I think there's a tool for removing it, I'm seriously considering one.
Great video. Always a struggle to get those brushes back in. I am right at the point of putting the brush plate back on and your method sounds perfect. Can't wait to go out and try it. My only question is, did you grease the shaft end cap before installing it? Thanks again.
hey I don't have a lawn battery that has any charge, could I use a battery charger set to the jump starter setting to test my motor after it is rebuilt? also how could I find brushes/ a complete bottom plate? like does it have to specifically be a briggs and Stratton or would a general lawn equipment starter brush work?
O.K Zippo got my new parts but now I have no reverse 1-2-3 and only 2-4 forward same speed though,my question is it the control on my Minn Kota Endura C2 30 lb. thrust motor or wired wrong??please help
Hello I have a question important .is me can to use of Motor starter the car this in the game scooter baby weight 25 kilo please respond and thank you ???
I used the jeweler's wire but may have nicked the brush surface on a few of the brushes (just small scratches), now there is a squeal every time I start the mower, could that be the cause? I also had to clean and super glue a few of the magnets in as they came loose when I rebuilt my starter, but I'm sure they are holding tight.
The squeal could be a couple things. If the magnets weren't perfectly aligned, one may be rubbing on the Armature or the bushings are out of spec or dry. I don't imagine the brushes would squeak loud enough to be noticeable. Cheers and good luck! Zip~
do you know an easy way to remove and reinstall that little retaining ring that holds the starter drive together,, that's one thing that gives me fits every time?
Unfortunately I didn't see the trick about removing brushes the way ZippoVarga described. I had pulled out the end piece and as a result the brushes were left hanging there!! grrr. II came up with a solution using paper clips. I made four staple shaped "tools" that were just the length of the distance from the back of the brush holder to the front of the brush after I compressed it. Then I slipped a "staple tool" over it and did the same with the next three.The tool left enough space to slip the bushing holder over the commutator. Once pushed in a short distance I removed the clips and pushed the assembly all the way down over the commutator.. Job done!!
Hello I need your advice,,,,me I don't have skill to clean my starter..I have pontic sunfire....It will not start,,,every time I start the engine I see a.smoke from a starter,,,what do you think,,,its time for replacement? What tools do I need? For how long if I will do it myself...
Sounds like you've just got a loose wire on the starter. Should be easy enough to diagnose. Find the starter and the wires attached to it and make sure they are not loose or touching anything but the post they are bolted to. Tighten them up as best you can, but disconnect the battery negative terminal first to avoid sparking issues while tightening them. Don't over tighten them. Just snug them up so the cables and wires don't move. Good luck! If you're not sure, find someone in your friends circle who is confident in what they're doing and ask for their help. Cheers and good luck! Zip~
For the best results, you need an OEM brush plate. As for soldering brushes to the wires of an old brush plate, the composition of the brushes won't let solder stick to them. They need to be epoxied in place or spot welded like the originals. Zip~
You my friend are a lifesaver! Struggled for 30 minutes before I finally found your video. Thank for your insight, you’re a saviour

Dude. Awesome video. You are a rockstar at explaining these kind of things. Very little,
if any, unnecessary information included. Two thumbs up.
Hell yah ! For those of us that have the ability to rebuild instead of going an buying new you just saved us a ton of money
Brilliant!
So helpful and, the exact same starter I'm working on.
Thank you.
Thanks old mate, it helped big time. Such a simple thing can be such a pain. I had to tap the wires flatter so they go in & don't spin around & spit it back out while your dealing with the other 3.

I disassembled a starter for an 18hp opposed Briggs and used toothpicks to hold back the brushes, not nearly as nice as the wire
I used the jeweler's wire but may have nicked the brush surface on a few of the brushes (just small scratches), now there is a squeal every time I start the mower, could that be the cause? I also had to clean and super glue a few of the magnets in as they came loose when I rebuilt my starter, but I'm sure they are holding tight.
