g16 starter/generator source

Any good aftermarket suppliers for a new starter generator?

Thought about rebuilding with new brushes but it was in pretty bad shape from sitting for 6 years when I took it apart to get it running, now it does nothing unless I give it a spin by hand at the clutch. Full battery voltage is at the S/G coming through the starting circuit.

Never seen a good aftermarket starter/Generator. If your originals armature is not worn out, you should be good. The only time I have to put in a new one is when the commutator is worn the hell out.

tapped the S/G lightly with a hammer and now it starts consistently. I have a spare set of brushes to swap in if it acts up again, which it probably will, since the originals are well worn.

Change em, they are damaging the commutator.

According to the maintenance manual, the minimum length must be 16mm...
