Guys pulled a 235 starter apart today and found a spring behind starter drive ***. on armature shaft. I do know V8 chevy starters don't have one Been some time since I had 235 starter apart and don't recall them having one. Can anyone confirm that spring being there is incorrect? Thanks.
I'm pretty sure the spring belongs there. It helps to disengage the bendix after you let off the starter pedal.
Are you talking about the back of the starter? I believe there's a felt washer and and a small spring at the back of the armature. theres a larger spring in the front. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/electrical/56dr5210ee/56dr5210ee11.html heres the full list of manuals http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/
No - I'm thinking about an earlier model starter than you have, apparently. I had in mind the type used on an early 50's pickup with the foot pedal for engaging the starter.
Yes that is what I needed to see. The truck is 1954 and has a push****on on dash, just been awhile since i had ripped into older starter. Mechanic58 thanks also as I had forgotten about the early starters with the mechanical linkage. The starter is in newer moter, 58-62 235. It was worn and rebuilt on on the way. Thanks.
