2. Use an ohmmeter set to the Rx1 scale. Touch the
probes between two different segments of the
commutator, and check for continuity. See Figure
7-52. Test all the segments. Continuity must exist
between all or the armature is bad.
3. Check for continuity between the armature coil
segments and the commutator segments. See
Figure 7-52. There should be no continuity. If
continuity exists between any two, the armature
is bad.
4. Check the armature windings/insulation for
shorting.
Check that the shift fork is complete, and the pivot
and contact areas are not excessively worn, cracked or
broken.
The brushes and springs are serviced as a set (4). Use
Brush and Spring Kit, Kohler Part No. 25 221 01-S, if
replacement is necessary.
1. Perform steps 1-5 in Starter Disassembly.
2. Remove the two screws securing the brush
holder assembly to the end cap (plate). Note the
orientation for reassembly later. See Figure 7-53.
Discard the old brush holder assembly.
3. Clean the component parts as required.
4. The new brushes and springs come preassembled
in a brush holder with a protective sleeve that
will also serve as an installation tool. See Figure
7-54.
5. Perform Steps 10-13 in the Starter Reassembly
sequence. Installation must be done after the
armature, drive lever, and frame are installed, if
the starter has been disassembled.
