STARTER MOTOR INSPECTION
1.Inspect:
● Commutator
Dirty → Clean it with #600 grit sandpaper.
2.Measure:
● Commutator diameter a
Out of specification → Replace the starter
motor.
3.Measure:
● Mica undercut b
Out of specification → Scrape the mica
using a hacksaw blade.
NOTE:
Scrape the mica to the proper measure-
ment using a hacksaw blade which has
been grounded to fit the commutator.
Outside diameter:
28 mm (1.10 in)
<Wear limit:>
27 mm (1.06 in)
Mica undercut:
0.7 mm (0.028 in)
4.Inspect:
● Armature coil (insulation/continuity)
Defects → Replace the starter motor.
*********************************
Armature coil inspection steps:
●Connect the pocket tester for the continu-
ity check 1 and insulation check 2.
●Measure the armature resistances.
●If the resistance is incorrect, replace the
starter motor.
*********************************
Armature coil resistance:
Continuity check 1:
0.004 ~ 0.005 Ω at 20 ˚C (68 ˚F)
Insulation check 2:
More than 1 MΩ at 20 ˚C (68 ˚F)
