MAGNETIC SWITCH RETURN TEST
1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between M-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.
3. Pull pinion out and release. If pinion quickly returns to
its original position, everything is in order. If it doesn't,
replace magnetic switch.
Caution
Be careful not to get your fingers caught when pulling
out the pinion.
