PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT |
![]() |
4.Check the
pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler
gauge. Standard value: 0.5 - 2.0 mm 5.If the pinion gap is out of specification, replace the starter assembly. |
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST |
![]() |
1.Disconnect the field coil
wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic
switch. 2.
3.If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn’t, replace the starter assembly. |
MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST |
![]() |
1.Disconnect the field coil
wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic
switch. 2.
3.Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion stopper position. 4.If the pinion remains out, everything is in order. If the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open. Replace the starter assembly. |
FREE RUNNING TEST |
![]() |
1.Place the starter assembly
in a vise equipped with soft jaws and connect a
fully-charged
12-volt battery to the starter assembly as
follows: 2.Connect a test ammeter (150-ampere scale) and carbon pile rheostat in series between the battery (+) terminal and starter assembly terminal. 3.Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across the starter assembly. 4.Rotate the rheostat to full-resistance position. 5.Connect the battery cable from the battery (-) terminal to the starter assembly body. 6.Adjust the rheostat until the battery voltage shown on the voltmeter is 11 V. 7.Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifications and that the starter assembly turns smoothly and freely. Current:
<4D5, 4N1> Maximum 130 A |
