I'm hoping somebody can help with a question I have on the B Series Starter Motor.
Last weekend I removed the Starter Motor from my Ferret and when I got it on the bench I noticed 3 bolts that look to be a filler for something.
Richard F advised that the CAV manual describes this as the output bearing reservoir, indicating it having a lubricant in it, but can find no other reference except a brief mention of lubricating the starter every 9000 miles and recommended oil OM13.
I would have expected two bolts,(one breather hole and one filler hole) - why three?
When the Starter Motor is in the correct position as it will be on the vehicle - do you remove the uppermost and center bolts, fill via the upper hole until it overflows out of the center hole and then refit the bolts?
If anybody has any information I'd be very grateful.
