Startel Field Winding Test
Check for continuity between the brushes. lf there's
no continuity. replace the armature housing.
Check for continuily between each brush and the ar-
mature housing (ground). lf there is continuity,
replace the armature housing.
Overrunning Clutch InsPection
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft.
Does it move freely? It not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways.
Does it lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? It it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, repl8c€ it,
lf the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace
the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not
available separately.
Check the condition ot the flywheel or torque con-
vener ring gear it the starter drive gear teeth are
damaged.

nector from the reminder unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
a lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
a lf the terminals look OK, make the following in-
put tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.
lf all the input tests prove OK, the remind€r unit
must be faulty; replace it.
