ELECTRIC STARTING SYSTEM
CHECKING AND REPAIRING THE
STARTER MOTOR
1. Check:
• Commutator
Dirt
→
Clean with 600 grit sandpa-
per.
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 which has
been grounded to fit the commu-
tator.
The mica must be undercut to ensure
proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
• Armature assembly resistances
(commutator and insulation)
Out of specification
→
Replace the
starter motor.
a. Measure the armature assembly
resistances with the pocket tester.
b. If any resistance is out of specifi-
cation, replace the starter motor.
5. Measure:
• Brush length "a"
Out of specification
→
Replace the
brushes as a set.
6. Measure:
• Brush spring force
Out of specification
→
Replace the
brush springs as a set.

• Brush spring "1"
• Brush "2"
2. Install:
• Armature assembly "1"
