PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT TEST
1. Disconnect field lead from terminal "M" of solenoid to prevent starter from turning. See Fig. 5
. Connect jumper wire from a 12-volt
battery positive terminal to terminal "S" of solenoid. Connect another jumper wire from negative battery terminal to terminal "M" of
solenoid.
2. Solenoid should energize when battery is connected, kicking out drive pinion. With drive pinion extended, measure pinion gap between
drive pinion and collar. Gap should be .020-.080" (.5-2.0 mm). See Fig. 5
.
3. Add or subtract shims between solenoid and end housing to achieve proper pinion depth gap. Install field lead to terminal "M" of
solenoid. Install nut and tighten to 70-106 INCH lbs. (8-12 N.m).
