3. Starter
•Connect the positive terminal of the bat-
tery (1) and the starter cable (2) using a
connection cable (3) *.
•Check the functioning of the starter.
WARNING
• A wire that is used as a jumper lead must have at least the same capacity of the bat-
tery lead, otherwise the jumper lead may
burn.
• This check is likely to produce sparks, therefore make sure that no flammable
gas or fluid is in the vicinity.

Removal
1. Remove:
•The starter motor Refer to the “ENGINE REMOVAL” sec-
tion in CHAPTER 5.
Inspection and repair
1. Inspect:
•Manifold Dirty ➔Clean with sandpaper no. 600.
2. Measure:
•Diameter of the commutator Out of specification ➔Replace the motor.
3. Measure:
•The mica undercut (b).
Out of specification ➔Level the undercut
to the correct value using a hacksaw.
Wear limit of commutator (a): 27 mm
