DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
AA"FRONT BRACKET ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Insert a flat tip screwdrivers or the like in the clearance between
the front bracket assembly and stator core, to pry open and
separate the stator and front bracket.
Caution
Do not insert a screwdriver too far, or the stator coil gets
damaged.
AB"ALTERNATOR PULLEY REMOVAL
Face pulley side upward, fix the rotor with a work bench
and remove the pulley.
Caution
Use care not to damage the rotor.
AC"STATOR/REGULATOR ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Unsolder the stator with a soldering iron (180 to 250
W). Complete this work within four seconds not to transfer
heat to the diode.
2. When removing rectifier from the regulator assembly,
remove the soldered sections to rectifier.
Caution
(1) Use care to make sure that the heat of the soldering
iron is not transmitted to the diodes for a long period.
(2) Use care that no undue force is exerted to the
lead wires of the diodes.
REASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
"AAREGULATOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
After installing the regulator assembly, insert a wire into the
hole provided on the rear bracket while pressing in the brush
to fix the brush.
NOTE
The brush is fixed when a wire is inserted, making rotor
installation easier.

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Starting System16-17
STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
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 terminaland 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.

AA"MAGNETIC SWITCH REMOVAL
Disconnect field coil wire from “M” terminal of magnetic switch.
AB"ARMATURE/BALL REMOVAL
Caution
When removing the armature, take care not to lose the
ball (which is used as a bearing) in the armature end.
AC"SNAP RING/STOP RING REMOVAL
1. Press stop ring off snap ring with a suitable socket.
2. Remove snap ring with snap ring pliers and then remove
stop ring and overrunning clutch.
STARTER MOTOR PARTS CLEANING
1. Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the
yoke and field coil assembly and/or armature will damage
insulation. Wipe motor assembly with a cloth only.
2. Do not immerse drive unit in cleaning solvent. Overrunning
clutch is pre-lubricated at the factory and solvent will wash
lubrication from clutch
3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened
with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a cloth.

IGNITION COIL (WITH BUILT-IN POWER
TRANSISTOR) CHECK
Check by the following procedure, and replace if there is
a malfunction.
SECONDARY COIL RESISTANCE CHECK
Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminals
of the ignition coil.
Standard value: 8.5 - 11.5 kΩ
PRIMARY COIL AND POWER TRANSISTOR
CONTINUITY CHECK
NOTE
1. An analogue-type circuit tester should be used.
2. Connect the negative ( - ) prove of the circuit tester to
terminal 1.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning and power
transistor from breakage.
