"BAROTOR INSTALLATION
After installing the rotor, remove the wire used to fix the brush.
INSPECTION
ROTOR CHECK
1. Check the continuity between the rotor coil slip rings,
and replace the rotor if the resistance value is not at
the standard value.
Standard value: 3 - 5Ω
2. Check the continuity between the slip ring and core, and
if there is continuity, replace the rotor.
STATOR CHECK
1. Check the continuity between the coil leads, and if there
is continuity, replace the stator.
2. Check the continuity between the coil and core, and if
there is continuity, replace the stator.
Wire

ENGINE ELECTRICAL -Charging System16-16
RECTIFIERS CHECK
1. Inspect the (+) heat sink by checking the continuity
between the (+) heat sink and stator coil lead wire
connection terminal using a tester probe.
If there is a continuity at both, the diode is short circuited,
so replace the rectifier.
2. Inspect the ( - ) heat sink by checking the continuity
between the ( - ) heat sink and stator coil lead wire
connection terminal using a tester probe.
If there is a continuity at both, the diode is short circuited,
so replace the rectifier.
3. Check the diode trio by connecting an ohmmeter to both
ends of each diode and check the continuity of the three
diodes.
If there is a continuity at both ends, or if there is no
continuity, the diode is damaged so replace the rectifier.
BRUSH CHECK
1. Measure the length of the brush protrusion shown in the
illustration, and replace the brush if the measured value
is below the limit value.
Limit: 2 mm or less
2. The brush can be removed if the solder of the brush
lead wire is removed.
3. When installing a new brush, insert the brush into the
holder as shown in the illustration, and then solder the
lead wires.

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.

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and
M-terminal.
3. Set switch to “ON” position, and pinion will move out.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.
4. Check pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a
thickness gauge.
Standard value: 0.5 - 2.0 mmS

5. If pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or
removing gaskets between magnetic switch and front
bracket.
MAGNETIC SWITCH PULL-IN TEST
1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and
M-terminal.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.
3. If pinion moves out, then pull-in coil is good. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
MAGNETIC SWITCH HOLD-IN TEST
1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between S-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10
seconds) to prevent coil from burning.
3. Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion stopper
position.
4. If pinion remains out, everything is in order. If pinion moves
in, hold-in circuit is open. Replace magnetic switch.
FREE RUNNING TEST
1. Place starter motor in a vise equipped with soft jaws
and connect a fully-charged 12 V battery to starter motor
as follows:
2. Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and carbon
pile rheostat in series with battery positive post and starter
motor terminal.
3. Connect a voltmeter (15 V scale) across starter motor.
4. Rotate carbon pile to full-resistance position.
5. Connect battery cable from battery negative post to starter
motor body.
6. Adjust the rheostat until the battery voltage shown by
the voltmeter is 11 V Reduction.
7. Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the
specifications and that the starter motor turns smoothly
and freely.

MAGNETIC SWITCH RETURN TEST
1. Disconnect field coil wire from M-terminal of magnetic
switch.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between M-terminal and body.
Caution
This test must be performed quickly (in less than
10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning.
3. Pull pinion out and release. If pinion quickly returns to
its original position, everything is in order. If it doesn’t,
replace magnetic switch.
Caution
Be careful not to get your fingers caught when pulling
out the pinion.

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.
