George Benton has a write-up (with great pictures) on the start motor system at: It somewhat easier to see what you're doing.

Often it helps to raise the manuals - that gives you a bit more room and makes You can _sort of_ get at the start motor and the associated gears from the back of the organ without removing any parts,īut it tight. Some Hammond Oil after it is all unstuck (otherwise the WD-40 will soon evaporate, and you'll be stuck again.)

In more stubborn cases, feel free to use some WD-40 to unstick things - just remember to follow up with Usually it can be unstuck by applying some Hammond Oil directly to the problem area, and working the gear back and forth (Often it will get stuck in the "pushed in" position, making it impossible for the start motor

If the end plate of the TG is bent, coax it back to correct conformation.Īnother common cause of problems is that the gear on the tone-generator shaft can get gummed up so that it doesn't slide.

Shove the start motor whichever way it needs to go while retightening the mouting bolts.

Loosen the two Start Motor mounting bolts (long hex studs).

(One way the alignment can get screwed up is if the end plate of the TG, onto which the start motor bolts, get bent.) The alignment of the start motor is critical - if it gets out of whack the gear on the start motor can have trouble engaging with its mate on the main In the normal, "slid out", position, the gear engages a pin which keeps it from freewheeling, thus enabling it to When the TG gear is slid in, it can spin freely, or "freewheel", on its shaft. (It is actually even more involved than that. The mating gear can slide out of the way momentarily until the teeth line up and the gears engage properly. The idea is that when the start motor is first turned on and its gear pops out, It is spring-loaded so that normally it is slid "out" (towards the run motor).

The gear on the main shaft of the tone generator which the gear on the start motor engages slides on its shaft. When the start motor gets energized its shaft pops out (or at least it's supposed to) so that the gear on the start motor engages a gear on the main tone-generator drive-shaft.
