Kirby 514 armature and field windings problems

[castrojoel]

According to vacsite, the armature from a D80 & D50 will fit the 514, is it possible that a two speed motor armature will fit a single speed motor? What do you guys think??

dont thinks so. i tried this once but the rear bearing didnt fit into the casing

 

[kirbykid]

and i have a full motor that i can sell to you. it is in nice condition. doesnt have bearings though

 

[kirbykid]

it is 75 just just armature and feilds. and if you want a original kirby bag it is 175 free shiping. the bag i think is original to the 514 and early 515. i might also have the carbons for it

That burning smell is never a good sign. Without the armature in front of me to do some testing I can only speculate as to what's wrong with it, but it sounds like something is shorted, and shorts in either an armature or stator winding have a way of growing. The easiest way to test for that is to use a growler. Any well equiped alternater/starter motor rebuild shop should have one, and the test is so simple they may not even charge you for it. Pheonix is a large enough city that you should have no trouble finding one. If it turns out that your armature is shorted, there are outfits all over the country that can rewind and rebuild them, so there's still hope.

Here's a link to one such place.

Ya you could definatly do that

Hey kirbykid, my email is [email protected], lets get in contact because I'm going to throw in the towel on this motor, it's been nothing but trouble and a pain on my rear end

 

[kirbykid]

everything

 

[kirbykid]

if you want the bag then i will sow the spring into the bottom of the bag. the last one rusted away

does anyone know if the feild coils will fit? they are from a 518 i think

 

[kirbykid]

this is from the 518 as well

 

[kirbykid]

and this is from a 512

 

[kirbykid]

and this is from a 512 also a bit dirty but i will clean it all

 

[kirbykid]

this is from a 518 dont know if it will fit... if anyone knows if it will

 

[kirbykid]

the bag has been washed and vacuumed. i tried to get the rust out but i didnt want to use heavy cleaners. i just used soapy water. i am going to try and use the spot bot hose to clean the rust

 

[kirbykid]

i want $225 for it all except the 512 motor. now it will have free shiping. and if it doesnt fit then i will give you a full refund but you will have to pay return shiping

 

[kirbykid]

with the 512 motor why does this happen? i touched 2 segments right next to each other and the ohm meter that i just bought says that the current is going through

My armature from my 514 does the same thing, the best way to check is with a growler, but I don't have one

 

[castrojoel]

I've read that the only true way to check for faults is to run 110v down the armature because it needs extra power that a multimeter can't do, here is my armature
