TEST
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds to
avoid burning out the coil.
1. DO PULL-IN TEST
(a) Disconnect the field coil lead from terminal C.
(b) Connect the battery to the magnetic switch as shown.
Check that the clutch pinion gear moves outward.
If the clutch pinion gear does not move, replace the magnetic
switch.
2. DO HOLD-IN TEST
While connected as above with the clutch pinion gear out, dis-
connect the negative (-) lead from terminal C. Check that the
clutch pinion gear remains out.
If the clutch pinion gear returns inward, replace the magnetic
switch.
3. INSPECT CLUTCH PINION GEAR RETURN
Disconnect the negative (-) lead from the switch body. Check
that the clutch pinion gear returns inward.
If the clutch pinion gear does not return, replace the magnetic
switch.

(b) Move the pinion gear toward the armature to remove
slack and measure the clearance between the pinion
gear end and stop collar.
Standard clearance: 1 - 5 mm (0.04 - 0.20 in.)
5. DO NO-LOAD PERFORMANCE TEST
(a) Connect the field coil lead to terminal C. Make sure the
lead is not grounded.
(b) Connect the battery and ammeter to the starter as shown.
(c) Check that the starter rotates smoothly and steadily with
the clutch pinion gear moving out. Check that the amme-
ter reads the specified current.
Specified current: At 11.5 V: 90 A or less

INSPECTION
1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from dash panel:
143.0 - 151.0 mm (5.629 - 5.944 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
Loosen the lock nut and turn the stopper bolt until the height is
correct. Tighten the lock nut.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY AND PUSH ROD PLAY
Push in on the pedal until the beginning of clutch resistance is
felt.
Pedal freeplay: 5.0 - 15.0 mm (0.196 - 0.591 in.)
Gently push on the pedal until the resistance begins to in-
crease.
Push rod play at pedal top:
1.0-5.0 mm (0.039-0.196 in.)
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL FREEPLAY AND
PUSH ROD PLAY
(a) Loosen the lock nut and turn the push rod until the free-
play and push rod play are correct.
(b) Tighten the lock nut.
(c) After adjusting the pedal freeplay, check the pedal height.
(d) Connect the air duct and install the lower finish panel.
5. CHECK CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
(a) Pull the parking brake lever and install wheel stopper.
(b) Start and idle the engine.
(c) Without depressing the clutch pedal, slowly shift the shift
lever into reverse position until the gears contact.
(d) Gradually depress the clutch pedal and measure the
stroke distance from the point that the gear noise stops
(release point) up to the full stroke end position.
Standard distance:
25 mm (0.98 in.) or more
(From pedal stroke end position to release point)
If the distance is not as specified, perform the following opera-
tions.
Inspect pedal height.
Inspect push rod play and pedal freeplay.
Bleed the clutch line.
Inspect the clutch cover and disc.
