the spring scale reading and the length of
the arm in feet. If the torque is not up to
specifications, check the seating of the
brushes on the commutator and the internal
connections of the motor for high resistance.
The Bendix should be checked for correct
operation. The Bendix pinion should be
checked to see that it shifts when the motor
is operated under "no load".
Over-Running
"Hornet" V-8 Series
Do not dip the in solvent as it cannot be
repacked with grease. Clean with cloth
dampened in cleaning solvent. Install the on
the shaft and make sure it slides easily
without binding. Turn the pinion which should
rotate smoothly, though not necessarily
freely. Reverse the direction of turning a
few times. The should instantly lock and
unlock. Replace the if it does not act as
described or if the pinion is worn or damaged.
Pinion and Switch Adjustments
"Hornet" V-8 Series
With the pinion at rest, measure the distance
from the face of the mounting flange to the
outer edge of the pinion. This distance
should be .834" to .984". Adjust by install-
ing thrust washers on the armature shaft
making sure the armature end play is kept
between .005" and .030".
Apply voltage to the switch to shift the
pinion into the full mesh position and
measure the clearance between the pinion and
the pinion stop. Adjust to 3/32" ± 1/64" by
screwing the switch plunger link screw in or
out as required. This adjustment is important
as incorrect pinion position can cause
insufficient meshing or pounding of the stop
and failure of the switch contacts to
properly close.
Starting Switch Relay
"Hornet" V-8 Series
Inspect the control wiring between battery,
switch and switch relay (Auto-Lite Model HRW
4001A) for breaks, loose terminals and worn
insulation. Tighten all connections and make
sure the switch is firmly mounted and makes
a good ground connection. Check the voltage
drop across the switch during normal start-
ing. If the drop is in excess of .20 volts
per 100 amperes (Approximately .25 to .50
volts during normal starting) replace the
switch. If the switch does not close and open
properly when the control button is operated,
remove the switch and check its closing and
opening voltages on the test bench.
Contacts close 1.5 to 3.0 Volts.
Contacts open 0.5 min. Volts.
Engaging Solenoid
"Hornet" V-8 Series
The over-running engaging solenoid (mounted
(mounted on the starting motor) specifica-
tions are:
Pull in coil 31.5 to 36.0 amperes at 3.0
volts. Hold in coil 8.8 to 10.1 amperes at
3.0 volts.
Starting Switch Solenoid
"Hornet" 6 and "Wasp" Series
Inspect the control wiring between battery,
ignition switch, and solenoid for breaks,
loose terminals, and worn insulation. Tighten
all connections. Be sure the switch is firmly
mounted and makes a good ground connection.
Check the voltage drop across the solenoid
switch during normal starting. If the drop
is in excess of .20 volts per 100 amperes
(approximately .25 to 1.00 volts during
normal starting) replace the switch. If the
switch does not close and open properly when
the ignition switch is operated, remove the
switch and check its closing and opening
voltages. Contacts close 3.5 to 4.5 volts.
Coil resistance 1.1 ohms plus or minus 8% at
20°C. (68°F.).
STARTER MOTORS (DELCO-REMY)
"Rambler" Series
The "Rambler" Series starting motors are a
DelcoRemy Model 1107119 used with standard
and overdrive transmission, and Model 1107136
with HydraMatic transmission. They have a
no-load speed of 5500 R.P.M. at 70 amperes
at 5.65 volts. They develop 11 foot pounds
torque at 550 amperes at 3.25 volts. They are
four pole, two field, six volt units.
The armature rotates in a bronze bushing
at the commutator end and in pinion housing.
The starting motors are lubricated by a
hinge cap oiler located on the drive end
frame. Every 5000 miles this oiler should be
given eight to ten drops of light engine oil.
Whenever the starting motor is disassembled
or removed from the engine, the oilless
bushing in the commutator end should be
supplied with a few drops of light engine
oil.
The starting motor used with the Hydra-
Matic transmission differs only in the length
of the starting motor pinion teeth and
solenoid switch control from the standard or
overdrive transmission starting motor.
Starting Motor Maintenance (Delco-Remy)
Starting motor maintenance may be divided
into two sections: normal maintenance, re-
quired to assure continued operation of the
starting motor, and the checking and repair
of inoperative units.
INSPECTION: The cover band should be
removed and the commutator and brushes
inspected at regular intervals. If the
commutator is dirty, it may be cleaned with
No. 00 sandpaper. Blow out dust. Never use
emery cloth to clean commutator. If the
commutator is rough, out of round, or has
high mica, it should be turned down on a
lathe. The mica should be undercut to a depth
of %2 of an inch. Worn brushes should be
