(3) Servicing
Overrunning Clutch
1. Inspect the pinion for wear or damage.
2. If there is any defect, replace the overrunning clutch assembly.
3. Check that the pinion turns freely and smoothly in the
overrunning direction and does not slip in the cranking
direction.
4. If the pinion slips or does not rotate in the both directions,
replace the overrunning clutch assembly.
Commutator and Mica
1. Check the contact face of the commutator for wear, and grind
the commutator with emery paper if it is slightly worn.
2. Measure the commutator O.D. with an outside micrometer at
several points.
3. If the minimum O.D. is less than the allowable limit, replace the
armature.
4. If the difference of the O.D.'s exceeds the allowable limit,
correct the commutator on a lathe to the factory specification.
5. Measure the mica undercut.
6. If the undercut is less than the allowable limit, correct it with a
saw blade and chamfer the segment edges.
