7. INSPECT MAGNETIC SWITCH ASSY

a. Check the plunger.

1. Push in the plunger and check that it returns quickly to its original position.

If necessary, replace the magnetic switch.

 Inspect magnetic switch assy

b. Check if the pull−in coil has an open circuit.

1. Check the resistance between terminals 50 and C.

Standard: Below 1 Ω

If the the result is not as specified, replace the magnetic switch.

c. Check if the hold−in coil has an open circuit.

1. Check the resistance between terminal 50 and the switch body.

Standard: Below 2 Ω

If the the result is not as specified, replace the magnetic switch.

8. INSPECT STARTER ARMATURE ASSY

a. Check if the commutator has an open circuit.

1. Check the resistance between the segments of the commutator.

Standard: Below 1 Ω

If the result is not as specified, replace the armature assy.

b. Check if the commutator is grounded.

1. Check the resistance between the commutator and armature coil core.

Standard: 10 kΩ or higher

If the result is not as specified, replace the armature assy.

c. Check the commutator for contamination and burns on its surface.

If the surface is dirty or burnt, correct it with sandpaper (No.400) or a lathe.

d. Using a vernier caliper, measure the commutator’s length.

Specified length: 3.1 to 3.8 mm (0.122 to 0.150 in.)

If the length is greater than the maximum, replace the starter armature.

9. INSPECT STARTER COMMUTATOR END FRAME COVER

a. Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.

Specified length: 4.0 to 9.0 mm (0.158 to 0.359 in.)

If the length is less than the minimum, replace the end frame assy.

b. Check the brush insulation.

1. Check the resistance between the positive (+) and negative (−) brush.

Standard: 10 kΩ or higher

If the result is not as specified, repair or replace the end frame assy.

10. INSPECT CLUTCH&BEARING CENTER

a. Check the starter clutch.

1. Rotate the clutch pinion gear counterclockΩise and check that it turns freely. Try to rotate the clutch pinion gear clockΩise and check that it locks.

If necessary, replace the clutch & bearing center.
