tion).
Fig. 3
Remove the starter motor.
Check the starter pinion for wear and whether it
can move freely. If necessary, clean piston using a
brush dipped in fuel and regrease it.
Check the flywheel ring gear for wear and damage.
Turn over engine by hand once, paying particular attention to the positions at which the engine finally stops;
i. e. when the engine is switched off it always stops in certain positions.
The starter pinion engages in these positions when the engine is started.
Replacing the starter ring gear, see page 78.
The starter motor is installed in reverse order to its removal; when doing so, connect the cables correctly
and tighten the bolts as specified.
Connect the battery or turn on the battery master switch.
Check the function of the starter motor after installation.
