Is this wiring right? Starter motor

[Steve_B]

followed the section in Ben's dub project thread (the older one not Ben lessani) cleaned up around the magnets and the armature contacts and fitted new bell housing bush. everything looked like it went back together the same. does the starter have to line up exactly with how it was positioned before?

When my starter wouldnt kick in, it was from the broken battery, not enough amps getting to it. But that was a clicking sound, so not sure if thats your problem.

Well i might have found the problem. looked up the part number of the bush gsf gave me on their website and this is what it says:

901VG0040       STARTER MOTOR BUSH       T2 ALLOWS 12V STARTER TO FIT 6V GEARBOX

Doesn't sound right to me

Sound like the bendix is not engaging!
This is why its far eaiser to exchange a recon unit for £50 saves loads of grief.
If you want a number of a specialist who can take yours on exchange give you a brand new gen unit for £50 let me know?
Its South London based, but he will deliver I'm sure if you're in London! 
Give them a bell!

Well he quoted me £80, that's inflation for you i guess. Will go to gsf instead, it's much closer.
