Hi, I took advice from an earlier posting for the starter on my 1953 super C. I cleaned the communtator. The brushes are good with adequate spring force. The sleeve bushings are good. The armature can be rotated by hand easily. Now (unlike before the cleaning), when I connect it directly to a good battery it spins up very fast but it does not try to torque out of my hand as someone said it should. I mounted it and cleaned all connections including battery and grounds but no attempt to crank. Then I realized that when I pull out the starter switch, the amp meter goes slightly neg (as always) but as soon as I trigger the starter the amp meter goes back to zero and there is no sign of any attempt of starter turning. I checked the voltage regulator and contacts look good and not welded closed. Now when I pull out starter the amp meter doesn’t even go slightly negative as just mentioned. I thought maybe I should buy a new starter switch and fuse (probably good to have on hand anyway). Any comments on this and also if the improvements of the starter are adequate or should I also pursue a shop to rebuild. Any suggestions where to buy parts? Thanks so much for all of your suggestions and may your New Year find you well! ToddH
