the "switch" terminal and to ground. Connect carbon pile across battery. Ground the solenoid motor terminal. Adjust the voltage to 10 volts
and note the ammeter reading. It should be 60 to 85 amperes.
C. Note the ampere reading. A high reading indicates a shorted or grounded winding, and a low reading indicates excessive resistance.
^
The resistance of the windings can be read directly using a digital ohmmeter that can measure tenths of an ohm.
^
Coil resistance can be determined by dividing the voltage by the current (amperes) listed in "Specifications".
