SOLENOID TESTS

Note. Perform solenoid tests with starter assembled and field wire from starter disconnected at solenoid "M" terminal. see scheme 2

CAUTIONDO NOT engage starter solenoid for more than 10 seconds during testing or damage to coil winding may result.

Solenoid

  1. Disconnect all wires from solenoid, including "M" wire between solenoid and starter. Using ohmmeter, ensure there is continuity between "S" and "M" terminals, and between "S" terminal and solenoid body. (Scheme 5)and see scheme 2. If continuity does not exist between these terminals, replace solenoid.
  2. Ensure continuity does not exist between "M" and "B" terminals. If continuity exists between these terminals, solenoid is shorted. Replace solenoid.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH PINION DRIVE

Hold overrunning clutch housing and turn pinion gear by hand. If pinion turns in both directions, clutch is faulty. Replace clutch. DO NOT clean overrunning clutch with solvent, as it is packed with grease and sealed by manufacturer.
