The shunt was used on a two field model for 12 volts. If you wish to
take the motor apart you need to simply snip the two wires going to it.
Compared to the main field windings they are very small. But when the
starter came off the Bendix by accident it held things under control.
Doubtful
A kind of crude test by turning the TX (only) on from a full charge
while putzing around at home, and waiting for the beeper to sound will
give you at least an idea of what to expect capacity-wise from what you
may remember before the charging incident.

I have to take action here! The Sirius Charger will NOT charge
