SERVICE INFORMATION

GENERAL
Always turn the ignition switch to "OFF" before servicing the starter motor. The motor could
suddenly start, causing serious injury.
The starter motor can be serviced with the engine in the frame.
When checking the starter system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting flow chart
(page 19-2).
A weak battery may be unable to turn the starter motor quickly enough, or supply adequate
ignition current.
If the current is kept flowing through the starter motor to turn it while the engine is not cranking
over, the starter motor may be damaged.
