(2) Negative Rectifier Test
Check for continuity between negative rectifier and stator
coil lead connection terminal. If there is continuity in both
directions, diode is shorted, and rectifier assembly must
be replaced.
(3) Diode Trio Test
Check three diodes for continuity by connecting an amme-
ter to both ends of each diode. If there is no continuity
in both directions, diode is faulty and
heatsink assembly
must be replaced.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
(1) Replace brush by the following procedures if it has been
worn to limit line.
(2) Unsolder pigtail and remove old brush and spring.
(3) Install brush spring and new brush in brush holder.(4) Insert the brush to where there is a space 2 to 3 mm
(.079 to .118 in.) between the limit line and the end of
the brush holder.

OPERATION
L
0For models equipped with the M/T, the clutch
pedal position switch contact is switched OFF
when the clutch pedal is depressed; when the
ignition switch is then switched to the “ST’ posi-tion, electricity flows to the starter relay and
the starter motor, the contact (magnetic switch)of the starter is switched ON and the starter
motor is activated.
NOTEIf the ignition switch is switched to the “ST
position without the clutch pedal being de-
pressed, electricity flows to the starter relay
(coil), the clutch pedal position switch (contacts)
and to ground, with the result that the contacts
of the starter relay are switched OFF, and, be-
cause the power to the starter motor is thereby
interrupted, the starter motor is not activated.lFor models equipped with the
AIT, when the
ignition switch is switched to the “ST’ position
while the selector lever is at the “P” or “N” posi-
tion, the contact (magnetic switch) of the starter
is switched ON and the starter motor is activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSThe starter motor does not operate at all.
l Check the starter (coil).
lCheck for poor contact at the battery terminals
and starter.l Check Park/Neutral position switch.
l Check clutch pedal position switch.
l Check starter relay.
l Check theft-alarm starter relay.
l Check key reminder switch.

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
(2)Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.(3) Set switch to “ON”, and pinion will move out.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(4) Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5-2.0 mm (.020-,079 in.)

MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
(2)
Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and M-terminal.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.
(3) If pinion moves out, then pull-in coil is good. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.(2) Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(3) Pull out the pinion by hand until it comes into contact
with the pinion stopper.
(4)If pinion remains out, everything is in order. If pinion moves
in, hold-in circuit is open. Replace magnetic switch.
FREE RUNNING TEST
(1) Place starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws andconnect a fully-charged
12-volt battery to starter motor
as follows:
(2) Connect a test ammeter (loo-ampere scale) and carbon
pile rheostat in series with battery positive post and starter
motor terminal.
(3) Connect a voltmeter (15volt scale) across starter motor.
(4) Rotate carbon pile to full-resistance position.
(5)Connect battery cable from battery negative post to starter
motor body.(6) Adjust rheostat until the battery voltage shown by the
voltmeter is 11 V.
(7) Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the specifi-
cations and that the starter motor turns smoothly and freely.
Current: Max. 90 Amps

MAGNETIC SWITCH RETURN TEST(1) Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.(2) Connect a 12 V battery between M-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.(3) Pull pinion out and release. If pinion quickly returns to
its original position, everything is in order. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
Caution
When pulling out the pinion, be careful not to have
your finger pinched.
STARTER RELAY(1) Remove the starter relay from the relay box.
(2)Connect battery to terminal 2 and check continuity between
terminals with terminal 4 grounded.

(1) Press the stop ring, by using an appropriate socket,wrench, to the snap ring side.
(2)After removing the snap ring (by using snap-ring pliers),
remove the stop ring and the overrunning clutch.STARTER MOTOR PARTS CLEANING
1.Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the
yoke and field coil assembly and/or armature will damage
insulation. Wipe these parts with a cloth only.
2.Do not immerse drive unit in cleaning solvent. Overrunning
clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and solvent will wash
lubrication from clutch.3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened
with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a cloth.

2.When replacing field coil brushes, crush worn brush with
pliers, being careful not to damage pigtail.
3.
4.Sand pigtail end with sandpaper to ensure good soldering.
Insert pigtail into hole provided in new brush and solder
it.Make sure that pigtail and excess solder do not come
out onto brush surface.
5.When replacing ground brush, slide the brush from brush
holder by prying retaining spring back.ARMATURE TEST
ARMATURE SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST
1. Place armature in a growler.
2.Hold a thin steel blade parallel and just above while rotating
armature slowly in growler. A shorted armature will causeblade to vibrate and be attracted to the core. Replace
shorted armature.
ARMATURE GROUNDING TESTCheck the insulation between the armature coil cores and
the commutator segments. They are normal if there is no
continuity.
ARMATURE COIL OPEN-CIRCUIT CHECK
Check for continuity between segments. The condition is nor-
mal if there is continuity.
