(3) Check for continuity between stator coil leads and core with a circuit tester.

(4) Replace stator if there is continuity.

3. Rectifier

(1) Check for continuity between each diode with an ohmmeter.

(2) Replace if necessary.

4. Brush

If brushes are worn to or beyond, limit. replace them.

Standard : 0.85in (21.5mm)
Minimum : 0.32in (8.0mm)

5. Brush spring

(1) Measure force of brush spring with a spring pressure gauge.

(2) Replace the spring if necessary.

Standard force : 0.71~0.93lb-ft (3.1~4.1N·m, 0.32~0.42kg-m)
Minimum : 0.36~0.52lb-ft (1.60~2.4N·m, 0.16~0.24kg-m)

Read spring pressure with brush tip projecting 0.08in (2mm).

6. Bearing

(1) Check for abnormal noise, looseness insufficient lubrication, etc.

(2) Replace bearing(s) of if there is any abnormality.

RESSEMBLY

1. Assemble brush and solder pigtail so that wear limit line of brush projects 0.079~0.118in (2~3mm) out of

brush holder.

2. Assemble regulator and solder with rectifier and stator leads.

Disconnect quickly. If soldering iron is used for more than 5 seconds rectifier may be damaged by heat.

3. Assemble rear bracket and stator.

4. Tighten screws holding rectifier and brush holder.

Tightening torque : 1.5~4.0lb-ft (2.0~5.4N·m, 0.2~0.55kg-m)

5. Tighten B terminal nut and insulating brushing.

6. Assemble rear bearing and stopper spring.

Make sure groove on bearing rim is facing slip ring side.

7. Assemble front bearing. Using a socket which exactly fits outer race of bearing, carefully push in front

bearing. Use a hand press or vise.

Insert protective material in the jaws of the vise.
