Delco Starter/Generator - 1925 Buick

[Buick Downunder]

Hi All

Can anyone advise on the following for delco starter/generator please?

1. Starter wiring - Does anyone have a wiring diagram or can describe what wires go where on the back of the starter - Mine has a wire from the ignition swich or ammeter???, one from the coil and the main battery lead (positive) - which is obviously to bolt under the large nut. I think I have them wrong. Any help here and where they go would be a great help...

2. Has anyone adjusted the upper stater brush? mine seems to sit on the starter at all times when the pedal is not engaged - maybe just above by a few mm's. Is this correct???

3. Also, does anyone know what makes the starter 'oscillate' when you have the ignition on? Mine does not seem to do this anymore and I am worried that it should??? to ensure the field is not fried? Do other people have staters that don't make the sound whe the ignition is on all of the time???

Thanks - Ben

Here are some pages I have scanned from my 1925 Buick Motor car operation and care.You can also find the wiring diagram in 1925 Buick Reference Book Standard Six Models.
