Kavan starter dissassembly ?

[Paul Horan]

Dave,
    Thanks for the info.  I have the stator (case) off.  Besides trash, small bits of debris up to 1/8 " in diameter, I also found three peices of wire.  Looks like I have lost at least one winding.  
    I'll try putting it together w/o the open winding - suprisingly it had good torque without it.  Next time it goes down it is either repair the winding or toast.
Thanks,
Paul

  I believe what you need is a "spanner" wrench to loosen the nuts at the back end of the starter - they are the bolts that appear at the front of the body.  I made my own wrench from a piece of .125" aluminum.  A skinny set of needle nose pliers might also work.  You will have some fun putting it back together - the brushes are spring loaded against the commutator and need to be "pinned" open via the pinholes in plastic case/housing on the back end of the body.

  Good luck,

  Dave
