Starting
System
ELECTRIC STARTER
Normally the starter
will
require
little
or no service other
than possible brush replacement. However,
if
through
accident or misuse, the starter requires service or
overhaul, the following information will provide the
information necessary
to
perform this service.
Service
When starting engine, note starter motor action. The
pinion gear should mesh quickly with flywheel ring gear
and spin engine. Once engine starts and solenoid
opens, the starter should disengage and stop. If starter
cranks engine slow, or not at all, check start circuit
components. Failure to crank is normally caused by low
battery charge, defective battery cables, corroded or
poor connections, or
low
temperatures.
If
after checking
these variables, starter continues
to
crank slowly, starter
must be removed and repaired.
