Starter Housing / Field Coil Testing
1. Using a digital multimeter, measure resistance
between starter input terminal and insulated brushes.
The reading should be.3 ohms or less.
2. Measure resistance between insulated brushes and
field coil housing. The reading should be infinite.
3. Inspect insulated brush wire and field coil insulation
for damage. Repair or replace components as
required.
Armature Testing
1. Using a digital multimeter, measure resistance
between each of the segments of the commutator.
The reading should indicate.3 ohms or less.
2. Measure resistance between commutator and
armature shaft. Reading should be infinity.
3. Place armature in a growler. With the growler on,
position a hacksaw blade lengthwise 1/8, (.03 cm)
above armature coil laminates. Rotate armature 360_.
If hacksaw blade is drawn to the armature on any pole,
the armature is shorted and must be replaced.
