CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR
1. Check:
Scommutator
Dirt
! Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
Scommutator diameter
a
Out of specification
! Replace the starter
motor.
Commutator wear limit
27 mm (1.06 in)
3. Measure:
Smica undercut
a
Out of specification
! Scrape the mica to the
proper measurement with a hacksaw blade
that has been grounded to fit the commuta-
tor.
Mica undercut
0.7 mm (0.03 in)
The mica of the commutator must be undercut
to ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
Sarmature assembly resistances (commuta-
tor and insulation)
Out of specification
! Replace the starter
motor.
a. Measure the armature assembly resistances
with the pocket tester.
