Motor Test
• Secure the starter to prevent it from jumping up and down
while testing the motor.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery.

Magnet Switch Test (Pull-in, Holding Coils)
1. Remove the motor from the starter housing.
2. Prepare a 6 V battery for the test.
3. Connect jumper leads from the battery negative terminal to the
housing and the starter C terminal.
4. The plunger should be attached and the pinion gear should pop
out when a jumper lead is connected from the battery positive
terminal to the S terminal. It is a correct.
5. Disconnect the jumper lead to the starter C terminal. Then the
pinion gear should remain popped out. It is a correct.
• Testing time must be 3 to 5 sec..
