3. Depress the starter button while observing the
multimeter. The multimeter should drop to 0 volts
and a “click” should be heard from the relay.
NOTE: If a “click” is heard and any voltage is indi-
cated by the multimeter, replace the starter relay. If
no “click” is heard and the multimeter continues to
indicate battery voltage, proceed to step 4.
4. Disconnect the two-wire plug from the starter
relay; then connect the red tester lead to the green
wire and the black tester lead to the black wire.

Neutral Start Relay check.
Starter Motor
NOTE: The starter is a non-serviceable compo-
nent. If the following test does not result as speci-

NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON
position, the emergency stop switch in the RUN
position, and the shift lever in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the starter terminal;
then connect the black tester lead to ground.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show approximately 10.0 DC volts and the starter
motor should operate.

NOTE: If the meter showed correct voltage but
the starter did not operate or operated slowly, the
starter motor is defective.
NOTE: If the meter showed no voltage, inspect
the main fuse, ground connections, starter motor
lead, battery voltage (at the battery), starter relay,
or the neutral start relay.
REMOVING
1. Disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the nut securing the positive cable to the
starter; then remove the cable from the starter.
3. Remove the two cap screws securing the starter to
the crankcase; then remove the starter. Account for
the wiring forms and an O-ring.
INSTALLING
1. Apply a small amount of grease to the O-ring seal
on the starter; then install the starter into the crank-
case. Secure with two cap screws and wiring
forms.
2. Secure the positive cable to the starter with the
nut.
3. Connect the battery.
Electronic Control Unit
