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.
4. INSPECT CLUTCH PINION GEAR CLEARANCE
(a) Connect the battery to the magnetic switch as shown.

(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. REMOVE RELAY BOX COVER
2. REMOVE STARTER RELAY (Marking: ºSTº)
3. INSPECT RELAY CONTINUITY
(a) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween terminals 85 and 86.
If there is no continuity, replace the relay.
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminals 30
and 87.
If there is continuity, replace the relay.
4. INSPECT RELAY OPERATION
(a) Apply battery voltage across terminals 85 and 86.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween terminals 30 and 86.
If there is no continuity, replace the relay.
5. REINSTALL STARTER RELAY
6. REINSTALL RELAY BOX COVER

CHARGING SYSTEM
PRECAUTION

Check that the battery cables are connected to the correct terminals.

Disconnect the battery cables when the battery is given a quick charge.

Do not perform tests with a high voltage insulation resistance tester.

Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND ELEC-
TROLYTE LEVEL
(a) Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
If insufficient, refill with distilled (or purified) water.
(b) Check the specific gravity of each cell.
Standard specific gravity:
1.27 - 1.29 at 20°C (68°F)
If the specific gravity is less than specification, charge the bat-
tery.
HINT:
Check the indicator as shown in illustration.
2. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS, FUSIBLE LINK AND
FUSES
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or cor-
roded.
If the terminals are corroded, clean the terminals.
(b) Check the fusible link and fuses for continuity.

3. INSPECT DRIVE BELT
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords etc.
If any defect is found, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered acceptable.
If the drive belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be
replaced.

(b) Using a belt tension gauge, check the drive belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:

Borroughs No. BT-33-73F
Drive belt tension:
New belt
Used belt160 ± 20 lbf
100 ± 20 lbf
If the belt tension is not as specified, adjust it.
HINT:

ºNew beltº refers to a belt which has been used less than
5 minutes on a running engine.

ºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a run-
ning engine for 5 minutes or more.

After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooved.

Check by hand to confirm that the belt has not slipped out
of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.

After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 min-
utes and recheck the belt tension.
4. VISUALLY CHECK GENERATOR WIRING AND
LISTEN FOR ABNORMAL NOISES
(a) Check that the wiring is in good condition.
(b) Check that there is no abnormal noise from the generator
while the engine is running.
5. INSPECT CHARGE WARNING LIGHT CIRCUIT
(a) Warm up the engine and then turn it off.
(b) Turn off all accessories.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ºONº. Check that the charge warn-
ing light is lit.
(d) Start the engine. Check that the light goes off.
If the light does not go off as specified, troubleshoot the charge
light circuit.
6. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per manufacturer's instructions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and amme-
ter to the charging circuit as follows:

Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the generator
and connect it to the negative (-) tester probe of the
ammeter.
