Performance Inspection

Performance Inspection
Magnetic switch




Disconnect terminal S wire, and perform the following tests. Replace the magnetic switch if necessary.

Pull-in test
Connect battery positive voltage as shown and verity that the pinion is ejected.

CAUTION:
^ Applying power continuously for more than 10 seconds will damage the starter.

Hold-in test




After completing the pull-in test, disconnect the wire from terminal M (with pinion ejected) and verify that the pinion does not return.

Adjustment of pinion gap
1. Disconnect the wire from terminal M.
2. Apply battery positive voltage between terminal S and the starter body.




3. Measure the clearance (pinion gap) between the pinion and the stopper.

CAUTION:
^ Applying power continuously for more than 10 seconds will damage the starter.

Pinion gap: 0.5-2.0 mm {0.020-078 in}

4. If the pinion gap is not within the specification, increase or decrease the number of washers between the magnetic switch and the drive housing.

NOTE:
^ The gap becomes smaller as the number of washers is increased.

No load test




1. Connect the starter, battery, voltmeter and ammeter as shown.

NOTE
^ Use fully charged battery.

2. Operate the starter and verify that it turns smoothly.
3. Measure the voltage and current as described below.




Specification

4. If not as specified, repair or replace inner parts as necessary.
