STARTER VOLTAGE DROP
TESTING
A Voltage Drop Test tests for bad connections. When
performing the procedure, you are testing the amount
of voltage drop through the connection. A poor or
corroded connection will appear as a high voltage
reading. Voltage shown on the meter when testing
connections should not exceed .1 VDC
per
connection or component
.
To perform the test, place the meter on DC volts and
place the meter leads across the connection to be
tested. Refer to the chart on 10.21 to perform voltage
drop tests on the starter system.
Voltage should not exceed
.1 DC volts per connection
STARTER MOTOR
DISASSEMBL
Y
Use only electrical contact cleaner to clean starter
motor parts. Some solvents may leave a residue or
damage internal parts and insulation.
1. Note the alignment marks on both ends of the
starter motor casing. These marks must align
during reassembly.
2. Remove the two bolts, washers, and sealing
O-Rings. Inspect O-Rings and replace if damaged.
