STARTER MOTOR
Test again by jumping the positive terminal to the M
terminal. Pull back the covering on the M terminal to expose
the connection. Attach a jumper cable to the positive(+)
terminal. Use a battery type cable #8 or better. Tap the M
terminal with the opposite end to see the results. Do not
allow the jumper cable end to touch the solenoid or starter
casing. This would cause a short.
A
WARNING:
There will be arching as the full
starting current should be flowing thru the jumper
If the starter spins, the solenoid is faulty.
If the starter fails to spin, the motor is probably faulty.
If no arching occurred, there is no juice reaching the
solenoid.
