STARTER
MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The starter
is
a
new
type,
small, light-weight
and
is
called a
high-speed internal-reduction
starter.
The pinion shaft
is
:separate
from
the
motor
shaft;
the
pinion slides
only
on
the
pinion shaft. A reduction gear
is
installed between
the
motor
shaft
and
a pinion
shaft.
The pinion sliding part
is
not
'exposed
outside
the
starter
so
that
the
pinion
may
slide
!smoothly
without becoming fouled
with
dust
and
grease.
The
!motor
shaft
is
supported at both
ends
on
ball bearings. The
lever mechanism, switch
and
overrunning clutch inner circuit
:are
identical
to
conventional
ones.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SOLENOID
A
WARNING:
The
following
emergency
starting
procedures
must
not
be
used
with
gasoline
engines.
Sparks
could
cause
an
explosion
and
fire.
Prior
to
testing,
make
certain the
ships
batteries
are
at
full
charge and that the starting system
wiring
connections
'(terminals)
are
clean and
tight.
Pay particular attention
to
the ground wire connections
on
the
engine
block.
To
check
the
wiring,
try
cranking the starter
for
a
few
seconds, never
more
than
10
seconds
at a
time,
then
run
your
hand
along
the
wires
and
terminals looking for
warm
spots
that indicate resistance. Repair
or
replace
any
trouble
spots.
Using
a multimeter, test
the
voltage
between
the
positive
terminal stud
on
the start solenoid
and
the
engine block
(ground).
If
you read 12 volts, the starter
is
faulty.
SOLENOID
IGNITION
TERMINAL
,..,.-..:----(M)
TERMINAL
To
test
the
ignition circuit, locate the ignition(s) temrinal
(it
is
one of
the
small terminal studs
and
is
wired
to
the
ignition
circuit).
Use
a
screwdrIver,
don't touch
the
blade,
to
jump
from
that ignition temrinal to
the
positive battery connection
temrinal
on
the
solenoid.
If
the starter cranks, the fault lies with the ignition
circuit.
If
the solenoid clicks
but
nothing happens, the starter
motor
is
probably faulty.
SOLENOID
IGNITION
TERMINAL
~
If
nothing happens
at
all, the solenoid is not getting
current.. Check
the
battery isolation switch
and
inspect
the
wiring
connections.
it
is
also
possible that
the
solenoid
is
defective.
A
WARNING:
There
will
be
arching
and
sparks
will
Ny
when
jumping
terminals.
Be
certain
the
engine
space
is
free
of potentially
explosive
fumes,
especially
gaSOline,
and
that
there
are
NO
flammable
solvents
or
materials
stored
nearby.
