Thanks, I'll see if I can find a guy in my area, it's a small country town so someone should know. When I put the trickle charge on it, it would spin over but not for very long. With that big of a battery it should really spin. Are you saying the brushes, and armature needs attention? I have rebuilt generators but not a starter.

Two other things I'd check are the voltage regulator and the ignition switch. Either one being faulty can drain the battery in a heartbeat.Ken Thomas

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
