<< A >> STARTER CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL/STARTER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
- Slide the starter assembly, and remove the starter connector and terminal.
- Remove the starter assembly from the lower front of the engine.
Scheme 4
- Slide the starter assembly, and remove the starter connector and terminal.
- Remove the starter assembly from the lower front of the engine.
Scheme 5
Scheme 6
Scheme 7
- Disconnect the lead wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch.
- Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and M-terminal. CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
- Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move out.
- Check the pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler gauge. Standard value: 0.5 - 2.0 mm (0.02 - 0.07 inch)
- If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or removing gasket(s) between the magnetic switch and front bracket.
Scheme 8
- Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch. CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
- Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and M-terminal.
- If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.
Scheme 9
- Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch. CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
- Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and body.
- Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion stopper position.
- If the pinion remains out, everything is operating properly. If the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open. Replace the magnetic switch.
Scheme 10
- Place the starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws and connect a fully-charged 12-volt battery to the starter motor as follows
- Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and carbon pile rheostat in series between the positive battery terminal and starter motor terminal.
- Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across the starter motor.
- Rotate carbon pile to full-resistance position.
- Connect the battery cable from the negative battery terminal to the starter motor body.
- Adjust the rheostat until the battery positive voltage shown by the voltmeter is 11 V.
- Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifications and that the starter motor turns smoothly and freely. Current: maximum 90 Amps
Scheme 11
- Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the magnetic switch. CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
- Connect a 12-volt battery between the M-terminal and body. WARNING: Be careful not to get your fingers caught when pulling out the pinion.
- Pull the pinion out and release. If the pinion quickly returns to its original position, everything is operating properly. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.
Scheme 12
Scheme 13
| CAUTION | Do not clamp the yoke assembly with a vise. |
Disconnect the lead from the M terminal of the magnetic switch.
Scheme 14
Scheme 15
- Apply a long socket wrench of an appropriate size to the stop ring and strike the wrench to drive out the stop ring toward the pinion gear side.
- Remove the snap ring with snap ring pliers, then remove the stop ring and overrunning clutch.
