>>B<< ROTOR INSTALLATION
Remove the brush holding wire after the rotor has
been installed.
INSPECTION M1161001700152
ROTOR
1. Measure the resistance between the two slip rings
of the rotor coil to check the continuity between
them.
Replace the rotor if the resistance is not within the
standard value range.
Standard value: 3 − 5 Ω
2. Check the continuity between the slip rings and
core.
3. If continuity is present, replace the rotor.
STATOR
1. Check the continuity between coil leads.
If there is no continuity, replace the stator.
2. Check the continuity between coil and core.
If there is no continuity, replace the stator.
RECTIFIER ASSEBMLY
1. Check the condition of the (+) heat sink by
checking continuity between the (+) heat sink and
each of the stator coil lead connecting terminals.
If continuity is present for both terminals, the
diode is shorted. Replace the rectifier assembly.

STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATIONM1162000100202
If the ignition switch is turned to the "START"
position, current flows in the pull-in and holding coils
provided inside magnetic switch, attracting the
plunger, When the plunger is attracted, the lever
connected to the plunger is actuated to engage the
starter clutch.
On the other hand, attracting the plunger will turn on
the magnetic switch, allowing the "B" terminal and
"M" terminal to conduct. Thus, current flows to
engage the starter motor.When the ignition switch is returned to the "ON"
position after starting the engine, the starter clutch is
disengaged from the ring gear.
An overrunning clutch is provided between the pinion
and the armature shaft, to prevent damage to the
starter.

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and M-terminal.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move
out.
4. Check the pinion-to-stopper clearance (pinion
gap) with a feeler gauge.
Standard value: 0.5 − 2.0 mm5. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by
adding or removing gasket(s) between the
magnetic switch and front bracket.
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the M-terminal
of the magnetic switch.
CAUTION
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.
2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal
and M-terminal.
3. If the pinion moves out, the pull-in coil is good. If it
doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.
