Thanks, Philipp,
I opened mine up and it looks the same. I did recieve an article that explained how to bench test the unit. I did and it din't pass. So, do you have any idea who I can send this to to repair? Thanks

This is what the Startix looks like from inside. i can not answer your question but may be this helps to understand.......

It's me again looking for some advice. Its taken a while but I finally got my generator working and so now I am trying to adjust my Startix and things seem backwards to me.

The Startix unit was rebuilt before I bought it and never used to the best of my understanding.

I am using the Startix Technical Manual from the ACD museum. In there Service bulletin #10 spells out how to adjust the unit on the second page.

Step 1. I did step 1 and turned the adjusting screw until there was an interruption. The manual said I would have to turn the screw to the LEFT to stop the cranking. I had to turn mine to the RIGHT. Nevertheless, I found the spot where it was interrupted and marked it on a piece of tape.

Step 2 tells me to reconnect the ignition coil wire and remove the Gen wire, which I did. Instructions tell me to turn the screw to the RIGHT (inward) causing continual spinning. When I turn mine right it stays interrupted. When I turn mine to the LEFT it causes continual spinning??? I then turn it Right (not left as in the Manual) and the spinning slows to a stop. However, the manual states that I should hear "click", which indicates the opening of the starting switch at which time the starting motor will begin to slow down. I do NOT hear a click at all, no matter how slow I turn the screw.

Now, what I have is a point where the unit will start the car and the starter will run-on. I also have a point where the run-on will cease but the unit will not re-start the car unless I adjust the screw slightly and the car starts, but the starter runs on. I seem to have no "in-between".

The unit is grounded well. The Startix unit produces a series of clicks going through its cycle when I disconnect the starter itself and turn on the ignition switch.

Any idea what may be happening and why my adjustments are in reverse?

Thanks for any thoughts you may have.
