While I try to determine the cause of my starter problem, I'm putting together another old starter. At the bottom end, there is a brake that is composed of two pieces of rubber held in tension by two small springs. It sits on a washer and this all sit above the shaft bushing. Does anyone know if the depression that this brake sits in gets greased? It would seem that it needs to be, otherwise the friction of the spinning brake would burn out the brake. Here's a photo of the part. 1958 PV444 Bosch starter.

    I tried to use the link in your post and it got photobucket but a note that my attempt had failed.
    I suspect it has to do with the character "ยค" in the link.
    Can you give a link that you have tested and made sure works?
    I don't remember any brake in a B16 starter but I sold my last one in 1970....

      This is odd because I tested the link on two different computers before posting and they both came up with the photo. I am not familiar with how to post the picture directly here.

      See if this one works any better.

        Pic works great!
        I had never seen a starter brake like that but I think you are right. If it is too clean,
        the rubber would melt or burn.

          I greased the groove it sits in and made sure there was no excess to splatter against the brushes. I had never seen something like that myself. Thanks.
