CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR

1. Check:
• Commutator
Dirt → Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
• Commutator diameter "1"
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
Limit
23.5 mm (0.93 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 (depth)
1.50 mm (0.06 in)
NOTE:
The mica of the commutator must be undercut to
ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
• Armature assembly resistances (commutator
and insulation)
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
