ELECTRICAL
NOTE: It is important to tighten the bottom starter
bolt first (circle), as the bottom hole acts as a pilot
hole to properly align the starter drive (bendix) with
the flywheel. This helps to prevent binding and
starter damage.
Starter Drive
If the garter spring is damaged, the overrun clutch may fail to
return properly. Use either of the following methods to remove
and install a new garter spring:
1. Screw the overrun clutch out to the engaged position on the
pinion shaft assembly. Use a small piece of wire with the
end bent in a hook and pick the old spring out of its
channel. Slide it off the end of the shaft. Slide the new
spring over the overrun clutch and into the spring groove.
Make sure the spring is positioned between the shoe
alignment pins and the back flange of the anti kick-out
shoes.
2. Remove the retaining ring, thrust washer, spring retainers
and clutch return spring. Screw the overrun clutch off the
end of the pinion shaft. Remove the old spring and install
a new one. Lightly grease the pinion shaft and reinstall the
clutch, spring, retainers, end washer and lock ring in the
reverse order. Make sure the end washer is positioned
properly so that it will hold the lock ring in its groove.
Starter Solenoid Bench Test
Test the start solenoid by powering the solenoid via the 2-wire
connection. With the solenoid energized, resistance should read
about 0.5Ω ± 10% between terminal (A) and (B). If resistance
measurement is out of specification, replace the starter solenoid.
Starter Solenoid Operation
To energize the Starter Solenoid the following must occur:
• The brake must be applied to provide a ground path via
the Orange / Green wire.
• The key switch must be turned to the “start” position to
provide 12V power via the White / Red wire.
• Once the pull-in coil is energized, the solenoid provides
a current path for 12V power to reach the starter motor.
