
NOTE: If voltage is lower than specified, test AC
Generator - No Load.
VOLTAGE (AC Generator - No Load)
The connector is the black three-pin one on the left side
above the shift lever.
FI083B

NOTE: Test the connector coming from the engine.
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Test between the three yellow wires (H1) or the three
black wires (H2) for a total of three tests.
3. With the engine running at a constant 5000 RPM, all
wire tests must be within specification.

NOTE: If both stator coil tests failed, check all con-
nections, etc., and test again. If no voltage is present,
replace the stator assembly.
RESISTANCE (AC Generator)
1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.
2. Test between the three yellow wires (H1) or the three
black wires (H2) for a total of three tests.
3. The meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE
(Crankshaft Position Sensor)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then con-
nect the black tester lead to the green wire. The
meter reading must be within specification.
AC VOLTAGE

NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for these
tests.
Crankshaft Position Sensor
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then con-
nect 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.
Starter Motor

NOTE: The starter motor is not a serviceable com-
ponent. If the motor is defective, it must be replaced.
REMOVING
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the nut securing the positive cable to the
starter motor; then remove the cable from the starter.
3. Remove the two cap screws securing the starter
motor with ground wires to the crankcase; then
remove the starter motor. Account for the wiring
forms and an O-ring.
INSTALLING
1. Apply a small amount of grease to the O-ring seal on
the starter motor; then install the starter into the
crankcase. Secure with two machine screws and wir-
ing forms.
2. Secure the positive cable to the starter motor with the
nut.
3. Connect the battery.
TESTING VOLTAGE
Perform this test on the starter motor positive terminal.
To access the terminal, slide the boot away.

NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON posi-
tion, and the shift lever in the NEUTRAL position.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the starter terminal;
then connect the black tester lead to ground.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show battery voltage and the starter motor should
operate.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 sec-
onds.
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.
