• SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST — CORE-TO-
COMMUTATOR
Check for continuity between the commutator and armature
coil core. If continuity exists, replace the armature.
• SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST — SHAFT-TO-ARMATURE
Check for continuity between the armature and armature shaft.
If there is continuity, replace the armature.
• OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
1) Check the overrunning clutch for smooth axial movement.
If the overrunning clutch does not move smoothly, clean
the spline and coat it with grease before recheck.
If the overrunning clutch does not move smoothly after
cleaning or coated with grease, replace the overrunning
clutch assembly.
2) Turn the gear shaft assembly by holding the overrunning
clutch. The gear shaft assembly should turn only clockwise.
If the clutch turns freely in both directions or if it does not
turn at all, replace the overrunning clutch.
3) Check the pinion gear teeth for wear and damage and
replace if necessary.
NOTICE
If the pinion gear is worn or damaged, the flywheel ring
gear must be inspected.
