23B ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
To test on the engine23B-03
Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
Turn on the lights and operate the starter switch. If
no lights are fitted to the machine, connect a
voltmeter across the battery terminals and operate
the starter switch.
If the starter does not operate but the lights keep
their power or there is no voltage drop across the
battery, check the switch and all the connections
and wires. Slow action of the starter can be caused
by faulty connections.
Failure to engage smoothly between the starter and
the flywheel can be caused, on some types of
starter motor, by dirt on the helical grooves of the
starter motor drive, which can prevent free pinion
movement. Clean the shaft thoroughly with
gasolene, or a fluid made especially for the
purpose, and apply a small quantity of Aero Shell
6B or its equal.
