With pinion gear removed, install reduction gear onto
pinion shaft. Place pinion shaft into center bracket
and secure with washer and snap ring. Measure the
end play with a feeler gauge between center bracket
and gear.
If
necessary, adjust end play by adding
or
removing adjusting washers.
If
pinion gear has not been removed, place pinion
shaft and reduction gear between front bracket and
center bracket. With lever spring removed and bolt
tightened, push pinion shaft out and measure end
play. Adjust end play if necessary by adding
or
removing shims.
Pinion Gear Installation
Place spring and pinion gear onto pinion shaft. Slide
stop ring onto pinion shaft and install retaining ring in
groove. Pull stop ring over retaining ring (Figure49f).

Remove
“M”
terminal nut and wire from solenoid.
2.
Connect positive terminal
of
battery to “S” ter-
minal on solenoid and negative terminal to starter
body. With battery connected pinion gear will
shift into the cranking position.
3.
Gently push pinion shaft back towards front
bracket and measure the amount of travel (Figure

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
4. The pinion gap should be
0.3
to
2.0
mm
(0.018
to
.0787
inch). Adjust by changing the number of fiber
washers used
on
solenoid mounting surface.
Increasing the number of fiber washers decreases
clearance. Decreasing the number
of
washers
increases clearance.
