STARTING SYSTEM 
76G05X-041 
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION 
Charge the battery fully before starting the following 
inspection. 
1. Turn the ignition switch to the start positron. 
2. Check that the starter motor operates. 
3. If the starter does not operate, check the voltage 
between S terminal and ground using a voltmeter. 
4. If the voltage is 8V or more, the starter is mal-
function. 
5. If less than 8V, the wiring harness is malfunction. 
Caution 
If the magnetic switch is hot, it may not func-
tion even though the voltage is standard volt-
age or more. 
Note 
The cranking speed is greatly affected by the 
viscosity of the engine oil.

Maximum: 0.1 mm (0.004 in) 
7BU05X-039 
Outer diameter of commutator 
Replace the armature if the outer diameter of the 
commutator is less than the grind limit. 
Roughness of commutator surface 
Repair using a lathe or fine sandpaper if it is rough; 
wipe it with a rag if it is dirty. 
Grind limit: 28.8 mm (1.13 in)

undercut the grooves to the standard depth. 
Standard depth: 0.5—0.8 mm (0.02—0.03 in) 
Minimum depth: 0.2 mm (0.008 in). 
7BU05X-041 
Magnetic Switch

4. Brush spring 
(1) Measure the force of the brush spring using 
a spring balance. 
(2) Replace the brush spring if the force is below 
specification.

CHECKING OPERATION 
Magnetic Switch 
Make the following tests: 
Pull-out test 
1. Check that the pinion is pulled out when 12V is con-
nected to the S terminal and the body is grounded. 
2. Measure the pinion gap while the pinion is pulled 
out. 
Specification: 0.5—2.0 mm (0.02—0.08 in) 
3. Adjust the pinion gap with an adjust washer (drive 
housing front cover—magnetic switch) if it is not 
within specification. 
Return test 
1. Disconnect the motor wire from the M terminal, and 
then connect the battery power to the M terminal 
and ground the body. 
2. Pull out the overrunning clutch with a flat-tip screw-
driver. Check that the overrunning clutch returns 
to its original position when released.
