Re: Johnson RDE-17R?

Thank you again FrankR and crosbyman!

I had some luck getting the starter apart last night. Now that it is all apart I will clean everything and then put it back together so hopefully I will have a working starter. When I pulled the bottom ring everything was covered in rust and it was locked up due to this as well. One question I do have is are there any parts of this that are supposed to be magnetized? All of the small electric motors that I have ever worked on have had magnetized parts to them that you could get a screw driver to stick to and this one doesn’t. It just makes me worry that something is a miss.

As far as the wire leads on the coils I plan on tucking them away when my new plug wires get here (couldn’t believe that I couldn’t find solid core plug wire anywhere in town) so hopefully I will be trying to start this old girl soon.

One other question is what size fuel and vacuum lines does this motor use?

Thank you again everyone!
