The starter was rusted tight when I got it so it was broke free and then disassembled. The commutator was turned and polished. The points looked to be in decent shape so they were sanded down a bit and then polished. The bottom thrust waster looked to be in good shape so nothing was done with it. All of the gaps on the commutator were cleaned out but no insulation was cut out of it. All of the field coils looked to be in good shape as do their insulation. I did not check for shorts anywhere though and I am not really sure how to go about doing this. When I was trying to start using the starter I was using jumper cables not through a solenoid. Any further knowledge about what to look for when I get back in there would be helpful. Thanks
