Inspect Armature Commutator
The armature commutator may be cleaned with fine
sandpaper (#300-500 grit). DO NOT use emery
cloth. Commutator may be machined to no less
than 27.0 mm (1.062 in.).
Slots between the commutator bars should be
cleaned with a hack saw blade after cleaning and
machining (Figure 60).
Figure 60
The armature should be checked for shorts with a
growler.
Inspect Brushes
Minimum brush dimension is 2.95 in. (7.5 mm)
(Figure 61). If brushes are worn less than
specification, replace the brushes or stator housing.
Figure 61
1. Use a digital multimeter to check for
continuity between field coil wire and
brushes (Figure 62).
2. Set the meter to the +))))) position.
3. Attach either meter test lead to field coil wire.
4. Contact first one, then other brush with other
test lead.
Figure 62
• Meter should make continuous tone
(continuity).
• If meter does not make a tone, (no
continuity), replace starter housing.
5. Attach either test lead to starter housing
(Figure 63).
6. Contact first one, then other brush with other
test lead.
