Starter Motor: Description and Operation
Fig. 9 Exploded View Of Delco-Remy SD-260 Series Starter Motor.
The Delco-Remy SD-260 starter motor has the solenoid shift lever mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed in the drive housing to protect them
from exposure to road dirt, icing conditions and splash. They have an extruded field frame and an overrunning clutch type drive. The overrunning clutch
is operated by a solenoid switch mounted to a flange on the drive housing.
The solenoid is attached to the drive end housing by two screws. The cover can be removed to inspect the contacts and contact disc, but the switch is
serviced as an assembly only.
Most motors of this type have graphite and oil impregnated bronze bearings which ordinarily require no added lubrication except at time of overhaul
when a few drops of light engine oil should be placed on each bearing before reassembly.
