FIELD COIL
TEST.
Field coil insulation can be
checked using 110 volt,
15
watt, AC current test light
connected as shown in Fig. 76. Brushes must not
touch field housing and power terminal insulation
must not aUow voltage to short to housing. If test light
comes on and brushes are clear of housing and pow-
er terminal insulation is good, there is a short be-
tween field coils (20-Fig. 74) and field housing (18).
Repair or renew as necessary.
89.
INSULATED BRUSH BOX TEST Two of the
brush boxes on brush holder
(22—Fig.
74) must be in-
sulated from the assembly
itself.
Connect a 110 volt,
15
watt,
AC
current test light as shown in
Fig.
77 and
touch test light lead to each insulated brush box in
tum. If test light comes on, insulation between brush
box and brush holder assembly is faulty and brush
holder assembly must be renewed.

REASSEMBLY. Reassemble by reversing dis-
assembly procedure. Make certain slots in brake
shoes (25—Fig. 74) align with cross pin in armature
shaft. Armature end play must be 0.005-0.025 inch
(0.13-0.63 mm) and is controlled by thickness of shims
(16) between center bearing plate (14) and armature
core.
Pinion clearance is set by connecting a 6 volt bat-
tery to solenoid on assembled starter to activate sole-

Turn eccentric pivot bolt
(1—Fig. 74) to adjust clearance and when set, lock
pivot bolt in place with locknut. Pinion clearance
should be 0.005-0.045 inch (0.13-1.14 mm).
