DESCRIPTION
Starter is a conventional 12-volt, 4-pole brush-type motor,
with direct or gear reduction drive. The starter-mounted solenoid
shifts overrunning clutch and pinion into flywheel when starter is
energized.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: See the TROUBLE SHOOTING - BASIC PROCEDURES article
in the GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING section.
NO LOAD TEST
CAUTION: Perform tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent coil
damage.
1) Install starter in soft-jawed vise. Connect starter in
series with a fully charged 12-volt battery. Connect a 100-amp ammeter
and carbon pile rheostat in series with positive battery post and
starter motor terminal. See Fig. 1.
2) Install voltmeter across starter motor. Adjust carbon pile
rheostat to full resistance. Connect cable from starter motor body to
negative battery terminal. Adjust carbon pile rheostat to proper test
voltage. See STARTER NO LOAD SPECIFICATIONS table.
3) Note that maximum amperage is within specification and
starter rotates smoothly. See STARTER NO LOAD SPECIFICATIONS table.

STARTER NO LOAD SPECIFICATIONS
Remove negative battery cable. If necessary, raise vehicle on
hoist. Remove starter mounting bolts and starter. To install, reverse
removal procedure.
NOTE: On Raider models with A/T, it may be necessary to disconnect
transmission oil cooler line for starter removal.
OVERHAUL
Check commutator for out-of-round and proper amount of
undercut. Replace or repair armature if not within specification. See
STARTER SPECIFICATIONS table. Ensure brushes are not worn beyond wear
line (outer line closest to commutator contact surface). Check pinion
gap. See PINION GAP CHECK in this article.
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: Procedures may vary slightly between conventional and
reduction gear starters.
1) Loosen nut securing connecting plate-to-magnetic switch
"M" terminal. Remove screws securing magnetic switch and remove switch
(solenoid) assembly. Remove through bolts and brush cover assembly.
Tap yoke assembly loose with wooden mallet. Remove yoke, armature
assembly and pinion shift lever.
2) Remove pinion stop ring from end of armature shaft by
pushing stop ring to clutch side. Remove snap ring and overrunning
clutch assembly from armature shaft.

CLEANING & INSPECTION
Clean all parts. Do not use grease dissolving solvent on
overrunning clutch, armature assembly, solenoid assembly or field
coils due to possible damage. Inspect all parts for damage or wear and
replace as required.
BENCH TESTS
Brushes & Springs
Check brush spring tension using a spring scale. Check brush
contact surface condition and brush length. Check lead clip and wire
connections and condition of brush holders. Replace as required. See
Brush Spring Tension and Minimum Brush Length Charts.

Armature
Check external condition of armature for scoring or other
damage. Measure shaft distortion with dial indicator. Replace armature
if shaft distortion exceeds .004" (.10 mm).
Commutator
1) Inspect commutator for roughness, grooves, burns or
pitting. Sand lightly with 500 grit sandpaper if necessary. Check
commutator for out-of-round and mica insulators undercut to a depth of
.020-.031" (.5-.8 mm).
2) If necessary, commutator may be turned less than .04" (1
mm) from original size and mica undercut. Replace if excessively worn.
Field Coil
1) Check field coil continuity by connecting test probe of
circuit tester or an ohmmeter to the field coil positive terminal and
brush holder. If circuit is open, replace field coil.
2) Check for grounding of field coils by placing one probe of
circuit tester on starter housing and other probe to field coil
positive terminal. If little or no resistance, field coil is grounded
and must be replaced.
Overrunning Clutch Assembly
1) Inspect pinion assembly and sleeve. Sleeve should slide
freely on armature shaft and spline. If damage or resistance is noted,
replace assembly.
2) Check pinion and flywheel teeth for excessive rubbing or
damaged teeth. Replace as required.
Pinion Gear Clearance
The clearance between the pinion gear and pinion stopper
