PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the
magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and
M-terminal.
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 sec-
onds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move out.
4. Check the pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5
2.0 mm (0.02 0.07 inch)
5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or
removing gasket(s) between the magnetic switch and front
bracket.
.
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal of the
magnetic switch.
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 sec-
onds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal and
M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it doesn't,
replace the magnetic switch.

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CHECK
1. While holding the clutch housing, rotate the pinion. The drive
pinion should rotate smoothly in one direction, but should
not rotate in the opposite direction. If the clutch does not
function properly, replace the overrunning clutch assembly.
2. Inspect the pinion for wear or burrs. If the pinion is worn or
burred, replace the overrunning clutch assembly. If the
pinion is damaged, also inspect the ring gear for wear or
burrs.
.
FRONT AND REAR BRACKET BUSHING CHECK
Inspect the bushing for wear or burrs. If the bushing is worn or
burred, replace the front bracket assembly or rear bracket
assembly.
.
ARMATURE CHECK
1. Check that the armature coil is not grounded.
2. Place the armature in a growler.
3. Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
the armature slowly in the growler. A shorted armature will
cause a blade to vibrate and be attracted to the core.
Replace the shorted armature.
4. Check the insulation between the armature coil cores and
the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no
continuity.
5. Check for continuity between the segments. The condition is
normal if there is continuity.
