I edited some of your album pics into the previous post.

I have a feeling you'll be able to figure out how to put pics in posts, if you hit the GO ADVANCED button under the text block, then clock MANAGE ATTACHMENTS.

I don't know why these parts manufacturers can't build all their starters to actually work.

Because alot the cheap bastards that do those discount auto parts stores build, take one apart, replace only what it needs and what looks to be 50% or more worn, slap some new paint on it and box it and back on the shelf. That's how they keep the price down. And none of them get a new armature. If the armature is obviously bad, they trash the whole starter or sell it to a REAL Rebuilder who replaces everything. Alternators same way.

Some "REBUILT" items dont even get that much attention.
Windshield wiper motors for instance,says rebuilt,an oscilloscope is hooked to them and run,if it falls out in a minute or so then those are shipped to a rebuilder.The ones that scope OK are repainted,shoved in a box with the warranty papers,and,sent to market.
The "ONLY" new thing that was added was a coat of cheap slipshod paint.
Them so called rebuilders,they buy them things in such large quantities and tested{USUALLY IN MEXICO,TAIWAN ETC.} that they can warrantie a dozen to one person and still come out ahead.
RANT OVER
