13. Hook the plunger behind the upper end of
the drive lever, and install the spring into the
solenoid. Insert the three mounting screws
through the holes in the drive end cap. Use these
to hold the solenoid gasket in position, then
mount the solenoid. Torque the screws to
4.0-6.0 N·m (35-53 in. lb.).
14. Connect the positive (+) brush lead/bracket
to the solenoid and secure with the hex nut.
Torque the nut to 8-11 N·m (71-97 in. lb.). Do not
overtighten. See Figure 7-67.
Disconnect all leads from the solenoid including the
positive brush lead attached to the lower stud terminal.
Remove the mounting hardware and separate the
solenoid from the starter for testing.
Use a 12 volt power supply and two test leads.
Connect one lead to the flat spade S/start terminal on
the solenoid. Momentarily* connect the other lead to
the lower large post terminal. See Figure 7-68.
NOTE: DO NOT leave the 12 volt test leads connected
to the solenoid for any time over what is
necessary for performing each of the
individual tests. Internal damage to the
solenoid may otherwise occur.
When the connection is made the solenoid should
energize (audible click), and the plunger retract.
Repeat the test several times. If the solenoid fails to
activate, it should be replaced.
