STARTER MOTOR NOISE
To correct starter motor noise during starting, use the following procedure:
Checks
Action
Check for a high–pitched whine during cranking, before
the engine fires. The engine cranks and fires properly.The distance is too great between the starter pinion and
the flywheel. Shimming the starter toward the flywheel is
required.
Check for a high–pitched whine after the engine fires, as
the key is being released. The engine cranks and fires
properly. This intermittent complaint is often diagnosed as
”starter hang–in” or ”solenoid weak.”The distance is too small between the starter pinion and
the flywheel. Shimming the starter away from the flywheel
is required.
Check for a loud ”whoop” after the engine fires but while
the starter is still held engaged. The sound is like a siren
if the engine is revved while the starter is engaged.The most probable cause is a defective clutch. A new
clutch will often correct this problem.
Check for a ”rumble,” a ”growl,” or, in severe cases, a
”knock” as the starter is coasting down to a stop after start-
ing the engine.The most probable cause is a bent or unbalanced starter
armature. A new armature will often correct this problem.
If the complaint is noise, correction can be achieved by
proper shimming as follows:
1. Check for a bent or a worn flywheel.
2. Start the engine and carefully touch the outside di-
ameter of the rotating flywheel ring gear with chalk
or a crayon to show the high point of the tooth run-
out. Turn the engine OFF and rotate the flywheel so
that the marked teeth are in the area of the starter
pinion gear.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent
cranking the engine.
4. Check the pinion–to–flywheel clearance by using a
wire gauge of 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) minimum thick-
ness (or diameter). Center a pinion tooth between
two flywheel teeth and the gauge. Do not gauge in
the corners, where a misleading larger dimension
may be observed. If the clearance is under this
minimum, shimming the starter away from the fly-
wheel is required.
5. If the clearance approaches 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) or
more, shimming the starter toward the flywheel is
required. This condition is generally the cause of
broken flywheel teeth or the starter housing. Shim
the starter toward the flywheel by shimming only
the outboard starter mounting pad. A shim of 0.40
mm (0.016 inch) thickness at this location will de-
crease the clearance by approximately 0.30 mm
(0.012 inch). If normal starter shims are not avail-
able, plain washers or other suitable material may
be used as shims.BATTERY LOAD TEST
1. Check the battery for obvious damage, such as a
cracked or broken case or cover, which could per-
mit the loss of electrolyte. If obvious damage is
noted, replace the battery.
CAUTION : Do not charge the battery if the hydrome-
ter is clear or light yellow. Instead, replace the battery.
If the battery feels hot, or if violent gassing or spew-
ing of electrolyte through the vent hole occurs, dis-
continue charging or reduce the charging rate to
avoid personal injury.
2. Check the hydrometer. If the green dot is visible, go
to the load test procedure. If the indicator is dark
but green is not visible, charge the battery. For
charging a battery removed from the vehicle, refer
to ”Charging a Completely Discharged Battery” in
this section.
3. Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester
across the battery terminals.
4. Apply a 300–ampere load for 15 seconds to remove
any surface charge from the battery.
5. Remove the load.
6. Wait 15 seconds to let the battery recover, and ap-
ply a 270–ampere load.
Important : The battery temperature must be estimated
by touch and by the temperature condition the battery has
been exposed for the preceding few hours.
7. If the voltage does not drop below the minimum
listed, the battery is good and should be reinstalled.
If the voltage is less than the minimum listed, re-
place the battery. Refer to ”Battery Specifications”
in this section.

the same cable to the positive terminal on the other
battery. Never connect the other end to the nega-
tive terminal of the discharged battery.
CAUTION : To avoid injury do not attach the cable di-
rectly to the negative terminal of the discharged bat-
tery. Doing so could cause sparks and a possible bat-
tery explosion.
6. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative
terminal of the booster battery. Make the final con-
nection to a solid engine ground (such as the en-
gine lift bracket) at least 450 millimeters (18 inches)
from the discharged battery.
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good bat-
tery. Run the engine at a moderate speed for sever-
al minutes. Then start the engine of the vehicle
which has the discharged battery.
8. Remove the jumper cables by reversing the above
sequence exactly. Remove the negative cable from
the vehicle with the discharged battery first. While
removing each clamp, take care that it does not
touch any other metal while the other end remains
attached.
GENERATOR
The Delco–Remy CS charging system has several mod-
els available, including the CS. The number denotes the
outer diameter in millimeters of the stator lamination.
CS generators are equipped with internal regulators. A
Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a rotor with slip rings
and brushes are electrically similar to earlier generators.
A conventional pulley and fan are used. There is no test
hole.
Unlike three–wire generators, the CS may be used with
only two connections: battery positive and an ”L’’ terminal
to the charge indicator lamp.
As with other charging systems, the charge indicator lamp
lights when the ignition switch is turned to RUN, and goes
out when the engine is running. If the charge indicator is
on with the engine running, a charging system defect is in-
dicated. This indicator light will glow at full brilliance for
several kinds of defects as well as when the system volt-
age is too high or too low.The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature and
limits the system voltage by controlling rotor field current.
At high speeds, the on–time may be 10 percent and the
off–time 90 percent. At low speeds, with high electrical
loads, on–time may be 90 percent and the off–time 10 per-
cent.
CHARGING SYSTEM
CS generators use a new type of regulator that incorpo-
rates a diode trio. A Delta stator, a rectifier bridge, and a
rotor with slip rings and brushes are electrically similar to
earlier generators. A conventional pulley and fan are used.
There is no test hole.
STARTER
Wound field starter motors have pole pieces, arranged
around the armature, which are energized by wound field
coils.
Enclosed shift lever cranking motors have the shift lever
mechanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed in the drive
housing, protecting them from exposure to dirt, icy condi-
tions, and splashes.
In the basic circuit, solenoid windings are energized when
the switch is closed. The resulting plunger and shift lever
movement causes the pinion to engage the engine fly-
wheel ring gear. The solenoid main contacts close. Crank-
ing then takes place.
When the engine starts, pinion overrun protects the arma-
ture from excessive speed until the switch is opened, at
which time the return spring causes the pinion to disen-
gage. To prevent excessive overrun, the switch should be
released immediately after the engine starts.
STARTING SYSTEM
The engine electrical system includes the battery, the igni-
tion, the starter, the generator, and all the related wiring.
Diagnostic tables will aid in troubleshooting system faults.
When a fault is traced to a particular component, refer to
that component section of the service manual.
The starting system circuit consists of the battery, the
starter motor, the ignition switch, and all the related electri-
cal wiring. All of these components are connected electri-
cally.
