INSPECTION

1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds to prevent the coil from burning out.

(a) Perform pull-in/holding test.

(1) Disconnect the field coil lead wire from terminal C.

(2) Connect the battery to the magnetic switch as shown in the illustration. Then check that the clutch pinion gear moves outward.

(3) Disconnect the negative (-) lead from terminal C. Check that the pinion gear remains out.

(4) Disconnect the negative (-) lead from the starter body. Check that the clutch pinion gear returns inward.

If the result is not as specified, replace the magnet starter switch assembly.

(b) Perform operation test without load.

(1) Connect the field coil lead wire to terminal C.

Torque:

5.9 N·m {60 kgf·cm, 52in·lbf}

(2) Mount the starter in a vise.

(3) Connect the battery and ammeter to the starter as shown in the illustration.

(4) Check that the starter rotates smoothly and steadily while the pinion gear is moving outward. Then measure the current.

Standard current:

If the result is not as specified, replace the magnet starter switch assembly.
