To check starter and switch
operation, disconnect lead from C ter-
minal (Fig. 88) of magnetic switch and
connect battery positive terminal direct-
ly to starter C lead. Connect battery
negative terminal to starter frame. If
motor runs smoothly, magnetic switch is
defective; if not, motor is defective.
Magnetic switch pull-in coil and hold-in
coil should operate porperly with V2 of
rated voltage (six volts) applied to
switch terminals. Renew magnetic
switch as a unit if defective.
Refer to Fig. 84, 85 and 86 for explod-
ed view of starter motors. When servic-
ing starter motor, check armature and
field coils for shorted or open circuits
an(i renew as needed. Check armature
bushings and bearings for excessive
wear and renew as necessary. Minimum
allowable brush length before renewal is
10.5 mm (0.4 inch) on Mociel LI85 and
12.7 mm (0.5 inch) on all other models.
FMnion engagement depth is set by ad-
justing magnetic switch hook (H-Fig.
84 or
85).
With starter pinion in engaged
position, distance between stop collar (8)
and pinion should be 0.1-0.1 mm
(0.004-0.016 inch) on Model L185 and
0.1-0.5 mm (0.004-0.020 inch) on Models
L2.S5,
L245 and L275.

Clutch |)edal free travel should be
measured at tof) of i)edal. Adjust length
of clutch linkage rod (l-p'^ig. *)]) as
necessary to obtain following recom-
mended free travel: 25-:^5 mm (I to 1%
inches) on all models except Models
L235 and L275 with dual stage clutches
which should be 30-40 mm (1-3/16 to
1-9/16
inches). On all models, make cer-
tain clutch releases completely after ad-
justing free travel and readjust if
Fig. 91—Measure ciutch
pedai free travei at top of
pedai. Adjust length of
ctutch rod (1) to obtain
recommended free travel.
Adjust safety start switch

necessary.
Adjust safety start switch (Fig. 91) to
obtain recommended gap between
switch and operating arm. On Model
L355,
clearance should be 2.0-3.0 mm
(0.080-0.120 inch). On Models L235 and
L275 with dual plate clutch, clearance
should be
1.0-2.0
mm (0.040-0.080 inch).
On all other models, clearance should be
0.5-1.0 mm (0.020-0.040 inch). Make cer-
tain starter will not ope'rate until clutch
pedal is fully depressed.

Check backlash between clutch disc
and main shaft splines. Backlash should
not exceed 2.0 mm (0.080 inch). Check
clutch facing wear by measuring from
clutch disc surface to top of rivet. If
depth is less than 0.3 mm (0.012 inch),
renew clutch disc. Fl,enew clutch disc if it
is warped, burned or oil soaked. Check
pressure plate flatness using a
straightedge and feeler gage. Plate
