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 starter motor.

2. Connect a 12-volt battery between the S-terminal 

and body.

3. Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion 

stopper position.

4. If the pinion remains out, everything is in order. If 

the pinion moves in, the hold-in circuit is open.

1. Place the starter motor in a vise equipped with 

soft jaws and connect a fully-charged 12-volt 
battery to the starter motor as follows:

2. Connect a test ammeter (100-ampere scale) and 

carbon pile rheostat in series between the battery 
(+) terminal and starter motor terminal.

3. Connect a voltmeter (15-volt scale) across the 

starter motor.

4. Rotate the rheostat to full-resistance position.
5. Connect the battery cable from the battery (-) 

terminal to the starter motor body.

6. Adjust the rheostat until the battery voltage shown 

on the voltmeter is 11.5 V.

7. Confirm that the maximum amperage is within the 

specifications and that the starter motor turns 
smoothly and freely.

Current: 

maximum 40 Amps
