8. STARTER MOTOR
Special Equipment Required:
To Renew Brushes — Soldering iron
To Renew Armature Bearings — Bearing puller
DESCRIPTION
Two types of starter motors are installed to the
range of vehicles covere d by this manual, either
Hitachi or Bosch.

The starter motor is the induced pole type with
four brushes and four pole shoes with field coils.

A solenoid switch is attached to the starter drive
end bracket. The solenoid plunger is connected to
the overrunning clutch and drive pinion assembly
through a lever and pivot arrangement.

When the solenoid windings are energized, the
plunger acting on the lever and pivot engages the drive
pinion with the flywheel ri ng gear and at the same
time closes the switch supplying power from the
positive lead of the battery to the starter motor field
coils and armature to operate the motor.

As the engine fires, the over-running clutch of the
drive pinion assembly prevents high speed rotation of.
and possible damage to, the starter armature if the
solenoid windings are not immediately de-energized
by releasing the ignition key.

The starter solenoid switch windings are energized
by the ignition switch.

TO TEST ON VEHICLE
Should the starter motor fail to operate when the
ignition switch is turned to the Start position, check
the following points:

Check the battery condition and state of
charge. Refer to the Battery heading for the correct
procedure.
Clean the battery terminals, taking particular
care to remove the scale from the positive ( + )
terminal post and terminal. Check the earth connection for tightness and
cleanliness.
Switch on the headlamps and turn the igni-
tion switch to Start. If the lamps dim but the starter
motor does not operate, it could indicate that a short
circuit has developed in the starting system. Check that the engine is not seized or that the
starter motor drive pinion and ring gear are not
locked as these conditions would -give the same
indications as above.

(5) If the lamps do not dim and the starter
motor does not operate, this would indicate an open
circuit such as a broken or disconnected wire or a
switch not operating.

If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transaxle, turn the ignition switch to Start and move
the selector lever through all the gear selection range.
If the starter motor operates in any position other
than N or P, the neutral safety switch is faulty.

(6) Check all the external wiring to ensure that
the fault is not external. If the external circuit proves
satisfactory, indicating that the problem is in the
starter motor, the unit will have to be removed and
tested.

TO REMOVE AND INSTAL
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Disconnect the wiring from the starter motor
solenoid. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts,

drive end bracket. Note the installed position of the
components. Mount the drive end bracket in the vice with
the pinion uppermost and Remove the screws retaining
the pinion housing to the drive end bracket. Remove the pinion housing from the drive
end bracket,
Remove the pinion assembly from the drive
end bracket, Mount the pinion in the vice, hold the collar
down and remove the snap ring from the end of the
pinion. Remove the collar and spring from the
pinion and slide the pinion out of the clutch assembly. If necessary, prise the bearings off the clutch
assembly using two screwdri vers. Note the location of
the larger bearing. If necessary, remove the bearings from the
armature using a bearing puller.
To Check and Inspect

Clean all the starter motor components thor-
oughly but do not immerse the yoke, armature or
clutch assembly in cleaning solvent.
Check the brush holder insulation using an
ohmmeter. Connect one test probe to the brush holder
positive side and the other test probe to the negative
side. If continuity exists , renew the brush holder.

Check the brushes for adequate length. Re-
new the brushes if they are worn to less than the
length listed in Specifications. The brushes should be
a free sliding fit in the brush holders. Check the brush
springs for adequate tension.
Check the field coil continuity using an
ohmmeter. Connect one test probe to the positive
brush and the other test probe to the solenoid cable
terminal. If continuity does not exist, renew the field
coils.

BRUSH HOLDER
Dismantled view of the Hitachi starter motor.
Check the field coil insulation using an
ohmmeter. Connect one test probe to the solenoid
cable terminal and the other test probe to the body of
the yoke. If continuity exists, renew the field coils. Check that the commutator is free from
pitting and burning. Clean the commutator with a
petrol moistened cloth and polish with a strip of fine
glass paper.
A badly worn commutator may be repaired by
mounting in a lathe and taking a light cut using a very
sharp tool with the lathe rotating at high speed. After
machining, undercut the insulation between the seg-
ments to Specifications. Do not machine the commu-
tator to below 29 mm diameter. Check the armature
gear teeth for wear and damage.

Check the armature for short circuit using an
ohmmeter. Place one of the test probes on the
armature shaft or core and move the other test probe
around the periphery of the commutator. If continuity
exists at any point, the armature is faulty and should
be renewed. Check the pinion for wear and damage. The
pinion should move smoothl y along the clutch assem-
bly helical splines. Check the spring, collar and snap
ring for serviceability.
Check that the clutch assembly locks in one
direction and rotates smoothly in the opposite direc-
tion. Check for wear and damage to the reduction gear
teeth on the outside of the clutch assembly.
Check that continuity exists between the
solenoid spade terminal and the solenoid body and
between the solenoid spade terminal and the solenoid
field coil terminal. Renew the solenoid if continuity
does not exist. Renew all the components found to be
unserviceable in the above checks.
To Assemble

Assembly is a reversal of the dismantling proce-
dure with attention to the following points:

(1) If removed, install new bearings to the clutch
assembly and the armature. Lubricate the armature
bearings with high temperature grease.

is unnecessary.

Apply high temperature grease to the yoke
end cover bearing recess, the drive end bracket and
pinion housing bearing recesses, the clutch assembly
reduction gear teeth, the armature gear teeth, the
pinion helical splines, th e solenoid plunger and the
spring and lever. Install the pinion to the clutch assembly and
install the spring and collar to the pinion. Hold the collar down and install the snap ring
to the end of the pinion.
Position the collar over the snap ring. If
necessary, squeeze the snap ring into the groove using
multigrip pliers to enable the collar to be clipped over
the snap ring. Install the pinion and clutch assembly to the
drive end bracket.
Install the pinion housing to the drive end
bracket. Install and tighten the retaining screws
se-
curely. Check that the pinion rotates freely.
