Brush Inspection
Measure the brush length. lf it is not within the service
limit, replace the brush (or brush holder assembly).
Brush Lsngth
Standard {Newl: 14.0 - I'1.5 mm (0.55 - 0.57 inl
Servico Limit: 9.0 mm (0.35 in)
NOTE: To seat new brushes after installing them in their
holders. slip a strip of #500 or #600 sandpaper, with the
grit side up, over the commutator and smoothly rotate
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be
sanded to the same contour as the commutator.

Overrunning Clutch Inspection
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft. Does it
move freely? lf not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways. Does it
lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, reDlace it.
3.lf the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace
the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the torque converter ring gear
or the flywheel ring gear if the starter drive gear
teeth are damaged.

Armature Inspection and Test
1. Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to
contact with the field winding. lf there is wear or
damage. replace the armature.
Check the commutator surface. lf the surface is dirty
or burnt, resurface with emery cloth or a lathe with-
in the tollowing specifications, or recondition with
#500 or #600 sandDaoer.

3. Check the commutator diameter. lf commutator
diameter is below the service limit, reolace the
armalure.
Commutator Diameter
Standard (Newl: 27.9 - 28.0 mm (1.09 - 1.10 in)
Service Limilr 27.0 mm (1.06 inl
lf the commutator runout is within the service
limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or
brass chips between the segments.
lf the commutator runout is not within the ser-
vice limit, replace the armature.
Commutator Runout
Standard (Newl: 0 - 0.02 mm (0 - 0.0008 in)
Service Limit: 0.05 mm {0,002 inl
4. Measure the commutator runout.

5. Check the mica depth. lf necessary, undercut the
mica with a hacksaw blade to achieve proper depth.
lf the service limit cannot be maintained, reDlace
the armature.

Commutator Mica Depth
Standard (Nsw): 0.5 - 0.8 mm 10.02 - 0.03 inl
Servico Limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
Check for continuity between the segments of the
commutator. lf an open circuit exists between any
segments. replace the armature.

7. Place the armature on an armature tester. Hold a
hacksaw blade on the armature core.
lf the blade is attracted to the core or vibrates while
the core is turned. the armature is shorted. Replace
the armature.
8. With an ohmmeter, check that no continuity exists
between the commutator and armature coil core,
and between the commutator and armature shaft. lf
there is continuity. replace the armature,

Brush Holder Test
1. Check that there is no continuity between the O and
O brush holders. lf there is continuitv, replace the
brush holder assembly.
O BRUSH HOLDER@ BRUSH HOLDER
Insert the brush into the brush holder, and bring the
brush into contact with the commutator, then attach
a spring scale to the spring. Measure the spring ten-
sion at the moment the spring lifts off the brush.

Starter Reassembly
NOTE: Use the illustration on page 4I as reference for
reassemDty.
1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out ol its holder,
and release the spring 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 of the brush.

Performance Test
Disconnect the wire from terminal N4.
Make a connection as described below using as
heavy a wire as possible (preferably equivalent to
the wire used for the vehicle).
Connect the battery as shown. lf the starter pinion
pops out. it is working properly. To avoid damaging
the starter, do not leave the battery connected for
more than 10 seconds.
3.
ie
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. lf the
pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working
properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not
leave the battery connected for more than 10 sec

7.
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
starts and keeps rotating.
8, lf the electric current and motor soeed meet the
specifications when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V,
the starter is working properly.
