Starter Volvo PV/Duett (B18)

Sluggish, grinding engagement or a solenoid that just clicks are common signs of tired brushes and worn bushings in the starter motor. The B18 engines run a 12V system – the change from 6 to 12 volts happened in 1961/62 together with the B18 – so check that the starter motor is the correct voltage before replacing anything.

This group brings together parts to rebuild and replace the starter motor on the Volvo 544 and 210/445 with the B18. The selection includes complete starter motors, solenoids and brush sets together with bushings plus screw, nut and spring washer. During an overhaul, brush length, play in the brush bearing and the solenoid contacts are typical check points before condemning the whole unit.
