To test on the engine Operation 14-5
1 Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2 Turn on the lights and operate the starter switch. If no lights are fitted to the machine, connect a voltmeter
across the battery terminals and operate the starter switch.
3 If the starter does not operate, but the lights keep their power or there is no voltage drop across the battery,
check the switch, all the connections and the wires.
4 Slow action of the starter can be caused by faulty connections.
5 Difficulty to engage smoothly between the starter and the flywheel can be caused, on some types of starter
motor, by dirt on the helical grooves of the starter motor drive, which can prevent free movement of the pinion.
6 Clean the shaft thoroughly with gasolene, or a fluid made specially for the purpose, and apply a small
quantity of Aero Shell 6B or its equal.
