INSPECTION AND REPAIR
1. Inspect:
Commutator
Dirt → Clean it with #600 grit sandpaper.
2. Measure:
Commutator diameter a
Out of specification → Replace the
starter motor.
3. Measure:
Mica undercut a
Out of specification → Scrape the mica
to the proper value (a hacksaw blade
can be ground to fit).
NOTE:
The mica insulation of the commutator must be
undercut to ensure proper operation of com-
mutator.
Commutator wear limit:
16.6 mm (0.65 in)
Mica undercut:
1.35 mm (0.05 in)
4. Measure:
Armature assembly resistance (com-
mutator and insulation)
Out of specification → Replace the
starter motor.
Measurement steps:
Measure the armature assembly resis-
tances with the pocket tester.
Pocket tester
YU-3112-C/90890-03112
Armature coil:
Commutator resistance 1
0.018 ~ 0.022 Ω at 20 ˚C (68 ˚F)
Insulation resistance 2
Above 1 MΩ at 20 ˚C (68 ˚F)
If any resistance is out of specification,
replace the starter motor.

Brush length a
Out of specification → Replace.
Brush length wear limit:

6. Measure:
Brush spring force
Fatigue/out of specification → Replace
as a set.
Brush spring force:
3.92 ~ 5.88 N
(400 ~ 600 g, 14.1 ~ 21.2 oz)

NOTE:
Apply molybdenum grease lightly on to the
bearings of the starter motor.
