I was amazed what a good condition the commutator segments were in on the starter!
Rain all day forecast for Sunday so I may try pulling the charging alternator off for inspection. The remote regulator is a CAV 440a which I think is a 60 or possibly 80 amp unit. it has three wires from the alternator (3 phases presumably) but oddly also has a lead going off to a sensor in the head water jacket, as well as a pair to the remote charging ammeter which are understandable. All it's connections are pretty nasty and corroded.

The only type of starter I know has a name that isn't "starter motor" is a Bendix type - but I doubt it's one of those.

Possibly to unload it if it senses an overheating engine? Or maybe it limits the output until the engine is up to temperature?
Looks like your pressure washer needs a wash too! (Mine does as well - it's still covered in pigeon crap from when we moved in here 3 1/2 years ago!)
awemawson:
Ade, the 'pressure washer' is a two tool road air compressor, but yes it does need a bit of TLC :lol:
