I sanded down the collector and worked on the coals. You have to make sure that there is no abraded copper between the collector fields, otherwise there will be a short circuit and thus a reduction in performance.
The excitation winding can be cleaned with spirit.
The middle part of the starter also wants attention.
And here are the mechanical parts:
The gears should be carefully lubricated with graphite grease.
And here is the assembled starter, ready for installation.
And the view from the front.
A final test on a battery showed that the measure again led to the starter turning quickly and thus to the desired success.
