Measure the brush length. lf it is less than the servicelimit, replace the armature housing and brush holder as-
semoty.

Service Limit1O.O mm (O.39 in)
NOTE: To seat new brushes atter installing them in their
holders, slip a strip of # 5O0 or # 600 sandpaper, with
the grit side up, over the commutator and smoothly ro-
tate the armature, The contact surface of the brushes
will be sanded to the same contour as the commutator.
1.Check that there is no continuity between the O and
O brush holders. lf there is continuitv, replace the
brush holder assembly.

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-

Starter Reassembly
Starting System
Solenoid Plunger Inspection
Check the contact points and the face of the starter solenoid plunger for burning, pitting or any other defects. lfsurfaces are rough, recondition them with a strip of# 500 or # 600 sandoaoer.
POINT CONTACTINGFACE
NOTE: Use the illustration on page 23-81 as a reference
for reassembly.
1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out of its holder,
and release the spnng to hold it there.
2. Install the armature in the housing. Next pry back
each brush spring again and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator. then release
the spring against the end ol the brush.

Starting System
Performance Test
NOTE: Before starting the following checks, disconnectthe wire from terminal M, and make a connection asdescribed below using as heavy a wire as possible (prefer
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in Coil Test:
Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion pops
out, it is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connectsd Jor morethan 1O seconds.
Hold-in Coil Test:
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. lf the pin-
ion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected for more
than 10 seconds.
J
Retracting Test:
Disconnect the battery negative cable. lf the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected fol more
than 1O seconds.
Starter No]oad Test:
1. Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
2. Connect the starter to the battery as shown, andconfirm that the motor starts and keeps rotating.
3 lf the electric current and motor soeed meet thespecifications when the battery voltage is at 1 1.5 V,the starter is working properly.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture
of how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to lgnition Switch, Fuses, and Relays
lndividual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however,
shows the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the f uses.
