Thank you guys for your help!!!

The quick answer is no, the number of coil assemblies doesn't always determine voltage. Your particular numbered starter is a prime example. If you refer to my reply post above you can see that yours wasn't designed with 4 coils. Only 2 "field coils" as noted in the components list.

Looking forward to hearing how the brush replacement and testing turns out. smile
