CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR

1. Check:
• Commutator
Dirt → Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
• Commutator diameter "a"
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
Commutator wear limit
27.0 mm (1.06 in)
3. Measure:
• Mica undercut "a"
Out of specification → Scrape the mica to
the proper measurement with a hacksaw
blade that has been grounded to fit the
commutator.
Mica undercut
0.7 mm (0.03 in)
NOTE:
The mica of the commutator must be undercut
to ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
• Armature assembly resistances (commuta-
tor and insulation)
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
