CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR
1. Check:
•
commutator
Dirt
→
Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
•
commutator diameter
a
Out of specification
→
Replace the starter
motor.
3. Measure:
•
mica undercut
a
Out of specification
→
Scrape the mica to
the proper measurement with a hacksaw
blade that has been grounded to fit the
commutator.
NOTE:
_
The mica of the commutator must be undercut
to ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
•
armature assembly resistances (commuta-
tor and insulation)
Out of specification
→
Replace the starter
motor.
