Starter is a conventional 12-volt, 4-pole brush-type motor,

with direct or gear reduction drive. The starter-mounted solenoid

shifts overrunning clutch and pinion into flywheel when starter is

energized.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

NOTE: See the TROUBLE SHOOTING - BASIC PROCEDURES article

in the GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING section.

NO LOAD TEST

CAUTION: Perform tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent coil

damage.

1) Install starter in soft-jawed vise. Connect starter in

series with a fully charged 12-volt battery. Connect a 100-amp ammeter

and carbon pile rheostat in series with positive battery post and

starter motor terminal. See Fig. 1.

2) Install voltmeter across starter motor. Adjust carbon pile

rheostat to full resistance. Connect cable from starter motor body to

negative battery terminal. Adjust carbon pile rheostat to proper test

voltage. See STARTER NO LOAD SPECIFICATIONS table.

3) Note that maximum amperage is within specification and

starter rotates smoothly. See STARTER NO LOAD SPECIFICATIONS table.

PULL-IN COIL TEST

CAUTION: Perform tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent coil

damage.

1) Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" at starter

solenoid. See Fig. 2. Connect jumper wire between positive battery

terminal of 12-volt battery and terminal "S" of solenoid.

2) Connect a second jumper wire from negative battery

terminal and touch terminal "M" of starter solenoid. See Fig. 2. If

solenoid plunger moves inward, solenoid is good. If not, replace

solenoid.
