1. Check:
• Commutator
Dirt → Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
• Commutator diameter "a"
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
Commutator diameter
28.0 mm (1.10 in)
Limit
27.0 mm (1.06 in)
a
3. Measure:
• Mica undercut "a"
Out of specification → Cut the mica to the
proper measurement with a hacksaw blade
