delco/remy starter/generator

[formariz 12,353]

Does anyone know if it is possible to change rotation direction in a Delco/Remy starter generator used on the K series? :scratchead:

It is possible, but only if the fields are changed. (so sayeth the guy where I get my parts & rebuilds)

Thanks TT. Does it make sense financially or am I better off getting a correct one?

The Cub Cadet starter generator spins opposite. They are very abundant.

It all depends on how much it costs you for the fields and to have them installed. It's also a good time to have the commutator turned/polished and the bearings and brushes replaced, so you might get in to a few dollars - but it's usually worth it.

I know new "aftermarket" units are available, but I prefer to have them rebuilt so I know exactly what I have.
