Cushman TURF-TRUCKSTER, Service & Repair Manual, Page: 213 / 263

GENERAL
The repair of the starter is covered in the engine man-
ufacturer’s service manual which can be obtained
through your local Textron Turf Care and Specialty
Products Dealer.
STARTING CIRCUIT RESISTANCE TEST
(See Figure 10G-1)
1. Remove the ignition coil connector, tape the con-
nector end (gasoline engines only).
NOTE
This will prevent the engine from starting when
performing the following test.
2. Using a suitable digital multimeter, at battery
measure battery voltage. This is the base voltage
for the following tests.
3. Connect tester NEG (–) test lead to NEG (–) ter-
minal of battery, connect tester POS (+) lead to a
good engine ground.
4. Crank engine, read/record voltage.
•
Voltage should not drop more than 0.58 volts
from measured battery voltage.
•
If voltage drops below 0.58, a high resistance
fault exists in the wiring, connections or ground
of the starter circuit, proceed with Step 5.
5. Connect tester POS (+) lead connected to battery
POS (+) terminal. Move tester NEG (–) lead to
starter motor terminal.
6. Crank engine, read/record voltage.
