CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR
1. Check:
8
commutator
Dirt
J
Clean with 600-grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
8
commutator diameter
a
Out of specification
J
Replace the starter
motor.
Commutator wear limit
21 mm (0.83 in)
3.
Measure:
8
mica undercut
a
Out of specification
J
Scrape the mica
to the proper measurement with a hack-
saw blade that has been grounded to fit
the commutator.
Mica undercut
1.5 mm (0.06 in)
NOTE:
The mica of the commutator must be undercut
to ensure proper operation of the commutator.
4. Measure:
8
armature assembly resistances (commu-
tator and insulation)
Out of specification
J
Replace the starter
motor.

a. Measure the armature assembly resis-
tances with the pocket tester.
