    OK John, I have to admit that I’ve lost track of what motor we are working on here. As for the rotor, it should not be rubbing on anything. From what I gather from your description and pix, either the mag plate is not down in proper position, or the rotor is too low. The magnets in the rotor should be in line ( up and down) with the iron heals of the coil armature.

    And yes, the rotor should come off of the crankshaft easily, not a tight fit… also there is a key on the crankshaft ? yes? to fit in the rotor key-way.

    PS, what you are calling a “slinger” is actually a felt wiper. Lightly oiled felt to keep the breaker point cam surface clean and lightly lubricated.
