Sorry for the OT question, but I couldn't find a small engine group.

I just pulled the flywheel on my Briggs 18hp v-twin Z-cart. (starter
repair)

Should I clean the armature/magneto contacts with anything besides air
while I have it off, or leave it alone?

Thanks.

Steve,
According to my B&S repair manual do not soak the armature in a cleaning
solution. The armature commutator, if it needs cleaning, can be cleaned
with 000 sand paper. Don't use emery cloth as it will embed in the
commutator and cause rapid wear. HTH, Jim.
