S commutator diameter a
Out of specification ! Replace the starter
motor.
Minimum commutator diameter
27 mm
3. Measure:
S mica undercut a
Out of specification ! Scrape the mica to the
proper measurement with a hacksaw blade
which has been grounded to fit the commuta-
tor.
Mica undercut
0.7 mm
NOTE:
The mica must be undercut to ensure proper op-
eration of the commutator.
4. Measure:
S armature assembly resistances (commuta-
tor and insulation)
Out of specification ! Replace the starter
motor.
a. Measure the armature assembly resistances
with the pocket tester.
