2. Connect the red tester lead to the brown/blue wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the black/white
wire.
3. With the switch in the OFF position, the meter must
show an open circuit.
4. With the switch in the RUN position, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/component
or the connector.
RESISTANCE (Reverse Override)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the green/red wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the blue/red
wire. The meter must show an open circuit.
3. Depress and hold the reverse override button. The
meter must show less than 1 ohm of resistance.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch/component or connector.
Magneto Coils
VOLTAGE (Charging Coil - Output)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
post; then connect the black tester lead to the nega-
tive battery post.
3. With the engine running at a constant 5000 RPM
(with the headlights on), the meter must show 14-
15.5 DC volts.
NOTE: If voltage is lower than specified, test stator
coil - no load.
VOLTAGE (Stator Coil - No Load)
The connector is the black and white one on the right side
of the engine just above the brake cable adjuster.
NOTE: Test the connector that comes from the
engine.
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Test between the three yellow wires for a total of
three tests.
3. With the engine running at the specified RPM, all
wire tests must show as specified.
NOTE: If both voltage tests failed, check all connec-
tions, etc., and test again. If no voltage is present,
replace the stator assembly.
RESISTANCE (Charging Coil)
1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.
2. Test between the three yellow wires for a total of
three tests.
3. The meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE (Trigger Coil)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue/yellow wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the green/white
wire. The meter reading must be within specification.
PEAK VOLTAGE
NOTE: All of the peak voltage tests should be made
using the Fluke Model 77 Multimeter with Peak Volt-
age Reading Adapter. If any other type of tester is
used, readings may vary due to internal circuitry.
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for these tests.
Stator Coil (Trigger)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue/yellow wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the green/white
wire.
3. Crank the engine over using the electric starter.
4. The meter reading must be within specification.
Starter Motor
NOTE: The starter motor is not a serviceable com-
ponent. If the starter motor does not operate, see
Starter Relay in this section. If the relay tests normal,
replace the starter motor.
REMOVING/INSTALLING
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.
4. Install the new starter motor.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 sec-
onds.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 sec-
onds.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the negative battery cable from the
battery first; then disconnect the positive cable.
