2. Remove the two screws that secures the switch
box to the engine.

NOTE: Before condemning a starter make sure
to bench test it. To bench test a starter:
A. Remove the starter from the engine.
B. Plug the extension cord into the switch
housing.
C. Hold the starter down and press the starter
button.
If the starter works on the bench, confirm that
the engine crankshaft rotates with normal force.
If the engine does not rotate with normal force,
identify and repair the engine problem.
NOTE: This includes adjusting the valve lash.
If the crankshaft rotates with normal force but the
starter is unable to turn it, replace the starter.
If the starter does not work, replace the starter.
4. Install the starter by following the above steps in
reverse order.
NOTE: Make sure the alignment dowels are in
the engine block before in stalling the starter.
See Figure 6.12.
NOTE: Tighten the starter screws to a torque of
53 - 71 in-lbs (6-8 Nm).
