attached to the armature plate will open the
circuit to the starter solenoid. If the crank-

erly when the throttle lever is in the IDLE
position, check the 20-ampere fuse between
the ingition switch BAT terminal and the
ammeter GEN terminal.
If the starter operates at full throttle

between the two white leads in the shift box
wiring.
Further problems in the cranking system
may indicate more serious problems. See
Chapter 6, starter motor sections.
