Starter motor
Electric features:
12 V / 0.7 kW
The starter motor is highly compact and reliable, therefore rarely raises any operating issue.
In case of faults:
- ensure that the starter motor wiring terminal is properly tightened under the nut and shows no sign of
oxidation;
- if the terminal is properly tightened and free from oxidation, remove the starter motor and test it under
no-load conditions (no load applied to the shaft).
Warning
Secure the starter motor to a test bench, making sure not to damage the casing.
Warning
Use a fully charged 12 V battery for the test.
- Use battery-motor connection cables which are no longer than 70 cm and with the same cross-section as
the cable on the vehicle itself;
- connect the negative terminal of the battery to an unpainted area of the starter motor casing and the
positive terminal to its electrical terminal;
- the shaft of the starter motor should rotate freely and at a high speed.
Warning
Take care not to short-circuit the two cables connected to the battery.
