PINION GAP
- Secure starter in vise. Connect a switch in series with starter solenoid and battery. Connect second switch in series with starter field wire. (Scheme 10)
- Turn both switches on. Starter drive should extend and motor should run. Turn switch No. 2 off. Starter should stop running, but drive pinion should remain extended. With the drive pinion extended, measure gap between pinion and stop ring.
- Pinion gap should be.004-.079" (0.10-2.00 mm). If adjustment is required, insert or remove shims between solenoid and drive end housing. Add shims to decrease gap, or remove shims to increase gap.
