PINION GAP MEASUREMENT
- Disconnect field coil wire from terminal "M" at starter solenoid. see scheme 7, see scheme 8, see scheme 9 or see scheme 10. Connect jumper wire between positive battery terminal of 12-volt battery and terminal "S" of starter solenoid.
- Connect a second jumper wire from negative battery terminal and touch terminal "M" of starter solenoid. Using a feeler gauge, measure clearance between pinion and stopper. (Scheme 28)
- Clearance should be within specification. See «STARTER SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-5348-S00218797422000081400000) table. Adjust clearance by adding or removing gaskets between solenoid and front housing.
