(PINION) CLEARANCE (FIG. 5)
Place starter assembly in vise equipped with
soft jaws and tighten vise sufficiently to hold
starter. Push in on solenoid plunger link ad-
justing bolt (NOT THE FORK LEVER) until
plunger bottoms. Measure clearance between
end of pinion and pin stop with plunger seated
and pinion pushed toward commutator end
(Fig. 5). The clearance should be %
2
inch,
plus y
S2
inch or minus %
4
inch. Adjust for
