plunger movement has been completed, much less
magnetism is needed to hold the plunger in the cranking
position. With the contact disc contacting the battery and
motor terminals of the solenoid, the pull-in winding is
shorted and no current flows through it. This design
feature reduces current draw on the battery and also
reduces the amount of heat created in the solenoid.
When the start switch is opened, current flows for a very
brief instant through the contact disc to the solenoid
motor (M) terminal, through the pull-in winding in a
reverse direction to the solenoid (S) terminal and then
through the hold-in winding in a normal direction back
to the battery. The magnetisms created by each winding
oppose and cancel out each other and the return spring
moves the entire shifting mechanism to the at-rest
position, to complete the cranking cycle.
On most vehicle starting motors, a contact finger
(Fig. 12s) touches the contact disc when the solenoid is in
the cranking mode of operation. The contact finger is
connected to the ignition coil terminal or (R) terminal on
the solenoid, which in turn is connected directly to the
ignition coil. This feature by-passes the ignition resistor
and provides more available ignition voltage during

Lubrication
No periodic lubrication of the starting motor or solenoid
is required. Since the starting motor and brushes cannot
be inspected without disassembling the unit, no service is
required on these units between overhaul periods.
Starting Motor Replacement (Fig. 13s)
The following procedure is a general guide for all
vehicles and will vary slightly depending on series and
model.
1. Disconnect battery ground cable at battery.
2. Raise vehicle to a good working height.
3. Disconnect all wires at solenoid terminals.
NOTE: Reinstall the nuts as each wire is
disconnected as thread size is different but
may be mixed and stripped.
4. Loosen starter front bracket (nut on V-8 and bolt
on L-6) then remove two mount bolts.
NOTE: On V-8 Engines incorporating sole
noid heat shield, remove front bracket upper
bolt and detach bracket from starter motor.
5. Remove the front bracket bolt or nut and rotate
bracket clear of work area then lower starter from
vehicle by lowering front end first -- (hold starter
against bell housing and sort of roll end-over-end).
6. Reverse the removal procedure to install. Torque
the mount bolts to 25-35 ft. lbs. first, then torque
brace bolt.
7. Check operation of starter on vehicle.
