Starter Solenoid Bench Test

The only test which can be done on the bench is the pull
in coil resistance, which should be 3.4 ohms.

Starter Installation

1. Position starter motor so there is no less than .100²
clearance between the ring gear and the starter
motor pinion gear.
2. Torque through bolt mount bracket nuts to
specification.
3. Torque 8mm (drive end) mount bolts to specification.
4. Torque 6mm (brush end) bracket to specification.
8mm Drive End Mount Bolt Torque -
15 ft. lbs. (21 Nm)
6mm Drive End Mount Bolt Torque -
5 ft. lbs. (6.9 Nm)
Mounting Bracket Nut Torque -
30-42 in. lbs. (3.4-4.8 Nm)

Unregulated Voltage

1. Test resistance of lighting coil and compare to
specifications in the model specific wiring diagram.
Reminder: Meter resistance must be subtracted from
reading.
NOTE: 0.3 to 0.5 ohms may be less than the internal resistance of your meter leads or meter. Before measuring
the stator resistance, short the meter leads together and read the display and record this measurement. Subtract
this reading from the stator resistance readings.
EXAMPLE: Short meter leads together, meter reads 0.7 ohms. Measure stator resistance, meter reads 1.10
ohms. Subtract 0.7 ohms (meter/lead resistance) from 1.10 ohms (reading obtained when checking yellow lead
to brown lead). True reading is: 1.10 ohms (observed reading when checking stator)
--0.7 ohms (meter/lead resistance)
= 0.4 ohms (true stator resistance)
