Starter 714D

[cdb]

After opening the starter of my 1929 65 i'm a bit confused. Clearly someone worked on it in the past. It seems 2 Field coils are missing, or can someone say that this is standard.

Any Idea how to fix this? I don't see how 2 other fields would connect to the brushes either.

There are only 2 coils used in that starter. Generally speaking Delco-Remy used 2 in 6 cylinder cars and they used 4 in 8 cylinder cars. It wasn't until they went to 12v that all Delco-Remy starters used 4 coils.

Thanks for the confirmation, never seen this before. Let's hope it will work😀. I know where i will spend my Christmas.... Trying to start the engine.

The starter runs but has the power of a little usb fan... it is now with a local rebuilder. Not sure if they can fix it, but on ebay parts for a chevy starter 714L are quite easy to get. Does anybody know if the armature would fit a chrysler starter? Or does any one know if the chevy runs the same direction? 

Thnx for any info

Dear friends, my starter is still not working. Does anybody know if it can be rebuild using chevy parts from the 714L?

Or  does anyone have a 714d for sale?

This may help in finding parts:

Thanks, that is exactly what I needed. Untill now it was just guessing. I will order the armature, not inexpensive in the netherlands but it will be here this week.

I will post again when the starter hopefully works.

If you still struggle even with a new armature get in touch. I do have a few extra 714Ds including what looks like a good core for overhaul.

Hi Narve, 

Thanks for the offer. I bought a 714L armature and it seems to work. Needed to ream the bushes somewhat bigger but messed up the alignment. Today I made new bushes and reamed them in a lathe. I will post some pictures asap. The 714L armature is in the end an easy fit and plenty available.
