I just put a battery in my 51, first time powere has been in it in over 25 years. I got my gauges moveing, running lights, no head lights but after the fact I looked at those wires and found them needing replacement. I did all this to see if the motor would even turn over, however I got nothing out of the starter.
My question is, What are the steeps need to rebuild the starter, or can that evevn be done?
