●
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 commuta-
tor.
NOTE:
The mica of the commutator 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.
