Hi all,
The field coils in my starter have a small amount of cloth that is loose. Can this be glued with something, like glyptol or other? They work fine otherwise. Thanks,
John

Re: starter field coil wrapping loose
I believe I'd just remove the loose bits and paint some Glyptol on the exposed windings.

Re: starter field coil wrapping loose
If the wrapping is still attached, I would secure the wrapping flat against the field coil with red Glyptal and when that dried, paint on another coat of Glyptal over the piece that was loose. Before doing this, make sure you clean the area to be repaired of all oil and dirt by flowing on Mineral Spirits and brushing in the direction of the wrappings with a soft 1” paint brush. Do this several times. Let it dry for a couple of days to evaporate the mineral spirits. Don’t use lacquer thinner, as it will attack the existing field coil coating. Jim Patrick
