CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR
1.Inspect:
●
Commutator
Dirty → Clean it with #600 grit sandpaper.
2.Measure:
●
Commutator diameter a
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
3.Measure:
●
Mica undercut
b
Out of specification → Scrape the mica using
a hacksaw blade.
N
OTE:
Scrape the mica to the proper measurement
using a hacksaw blade which has been
grounded to fit the commutator.
Outside diameter:
28 mm (1.10 in)
<Wear limit:>
27 mm (1.06 in)
Mica undercut:
0.7 mm (0.03 in)
4.Inspect:
●
Armature coil (insulation/continuity)
Defects → Replace the starter motor.
*****************************************************
Inspection steps:
●
Connect the pocket tester for the continuity
check 1 and insulation check 2.
●
Measure the armature resistances.
●
If the resistance is incorrect, replace the
starter motor.
*****************************************************
Armature coil resistance:
Continuity check 1:
0.025 ~ 0.035 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F)
Insulation check 2:
More than 1 MΩ at 20 °C (68 °F)
