3. With the engine running at the specified RPM, all
wire tests must show as specified.
NOTE: If both voltage tests failed, check all con-
nections, etc., and test again. If no voltage is pres-
ent, replace the stator assembly.
RESISTANCE (Charging Coil)
1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.
2. Test between the three yellow wires for a total of
three tests.
3. The meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE (Trigger Coil)
The trigger coil connector is located under the seat at
the rear of the air filter housing.
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the green wire. The
meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE (Signal Coil)
The signal coil connector is located under the seat at
the rear of the air filter housing.
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black wire; then
connect the black tester lead to ground. The meter
reading must be within specifications.
PEAK VOLTAGE
NOTE: All of the peak voltage tests should be
made using the Fluke Model 73 Multimeter with
Peak Voltage Reading Adapter. If any other type of
tester is used, readings may vary due to internal
circuitry.
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for
these tests.
Trigger Coil
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the green wire.
3. Crank the engine over using the electric starter.
4. The meter reading must be within specification.
Signal Coil
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black wire
(engine side); then connect the black tester lead to
a suitable ground.
3. Crank the engine over using the electric starter.
4. The meter reading must be within specifications.
Starter Motor
NOTE: The starter motor is not a serviceable
component. If the starter motor does not operate,
see Starter Relay in this section. If the relay tests
normal, replace the starter motor.
REMOVING/INSTALLING
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the nut securing the positive cable to the
starter; then remove the cable from the starter.
3. Remove the two cap screws securing the starter to
the crankcase; then remove the starter. Account for
the wiring forms and an O-ring.
4. Install the new starter motor; then tighten the cap
screws to 7 ft-lb.
5. Secure the starter lead to the starter with the nut.
Tighten to 36 in.-lb.
Starter Relay
VOLTAGE
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the battery supply
terminal (1); then connect the black lead to the
starter terminal (2).
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10
seconds.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the negative battery cable from the
battery first; then disconnect the positive cable.
