ELECTRIC STARTER

CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR
1. Check:
•Commutator
Dirt → Clean with 600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
• Commutator diameter “1”
Out of specification → Replace the
starter motor.
3. Measure:
• Mica undercut “a”
Out of specification → Scrape the mica to
the proper measurement with a hacksaw
blade that has been grounded to fit the
commutator.
TIP
The mica of the commutator must be undercut
to ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
• Armature assembly resistances (commu-
tator and insulation)
Out of specification → Replace the
starter motor.

a. Measure the armature assembly resis-
tances with the pocket tester.
b. If any resistance is out of specification,
replace the starter motor.

5. Measure:
• Brush length “a”
Out of specification → Replace the
brushes as a set.
6. Measure:
• Brush spring force
Out of specification → Replace the brush
springs as a set.
