So mad at myself at the point I may just stick my head real close when I throw the switch. A lot of hours waisted but learning alot also.If it blows up, keep your opinions on my advice to yourself
Thanks again

It sounds to me like the coil is rated for the higher voltage and a coil change is in order.
Cleaned up sprung contacts and their oppisites before I reassembled. Just orderd this one, what do you think? >NEW CUTLER-HAMMER 9-1010-2 COIL 208/220 V 2nd pic. my original.I see no reason why putting a 220 volt coil in won't work.
Lots of things can still be an annoyance in the electrical system. Every now and then one of the contacts gets a little too corroded and won't make full contact. This condition starves the motors.
Renewing the contacts isn't hard. Push them down and twist them out. There's a spring in there so be careful it doesn't fly into never never land.
I'll usually rub the contact's surface on 320 grit to knock off the rocks, then go to 400 and or 500 to get a good polish. A file isn't your friend.
That extra set of contacts on the right can be used for the full voltage legs. Chances are that set of contacts are the interlock for the little coil so they have never carried full voltage current.

Looks close enough to me. I don't have a stock number list of coils for that starter. I know its covered by bulletin 9586 but that series number covers a lot of sizes.
Ordred a 2nd one, both can be returned if not suitable. TY for your help.Cleaned up sprung contacts and their oppisites before I reassembled. Just orderd this one, what do you think? >NEW CUTLER-HAMMER 9-1010-2 COIL 208/220 V 2nd pic. my original.

Hey Jim, I have a couple of 220 60 cy coild on the way to try. When you say heaters you mean whats in the picture correct?I had a Moak table saw once that had a dual voltage motor and when I bought it, it was set up for 440. I too had it set up via a phase converter and a buddy of mine advised that I had purchase and install new heaters in the starter for it to work correctly. I followed his advice and it ran flawlessly.
Unfortunately it's been quite some time since I did that and no longer have that saw. It seems I had to cross reference the heater make/model to know what to purchase to run it on the 3ph 220 but I don't remember exactly how I did it.
Fortunately for us, we have Bob Vaughn who regularly visits this site and I feel certain that he can advise you of the process. More good news is that I remember the heaters being inexpensive as I purchased them off of eBay.
Good Luck with your project!
Jim
