I am starting to see that! I have a very similar armature out of a small starter motor but it looks like it has 2 different wraps, one going one way, and another going the other way, instead of wound in one big rotation. I did try repairing the burned up wires. It worked, actually, for about a...

Than you very much for the information. The problem is that the wires were so burned up, I managed to get an idea on how the wires were wound, but that's about it. I know that in my particular motor, I had 8 wraps of wire par coil, and each coil was spread across 5 channels, using two channels...
