PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
Note. Reduction gear drive starter pinion gap is adjustable. Direct drive starter pinion gap is not adjustable.
- Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" at starter solenoid. see scheme 6 Connect a remote starter switch between positive battery terminal and terminal "S" of solenoid. Connect a jumper wire from negative battery terminal to terminal "M" of starter solenoid.
- Turn remote starter switch on for no longer than 10 seconds. Pinion will move out when solenoid is energized. Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between pinion and stopper. (Scheme 4)
- Clearance should be.020-.079" (0.5-2.0 mm). Add or remove gaskets between solenoid and front housing to adjust clearance. (Scheme 5)
