Brush Holder

INSPECT INSULATION OF BRUSH HOLDER

Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be–

If there is continuity, repair or replace the brush holder.

Clutch and Gears

1. INSPECT GEAR TEETH
Check the gear teeth on the pinion gear, idler gear and
clutch assembly for wear or damage.
If damaged, replace the gear or clutch assembly.
If damaged, also check the flywheel ring gear for wear or
damage.
2. INSPECT CLUTCH
Rotate the clutch pinion gear clockwise and check that it
turns freely. Try to rotate the clutch pinion counterclock–
wise and check that it locks.
If necessary, replace the clutch assembly.
Bearings

1. INSPECT BEARINGS

Turn each bearing by hand while applying inward force.
If the resistance is felt or if the bearing sticks, replace the
bearing.
