8. INSPECT STARTER ARMATURE ASSEMBLY
a. Check the resistance.
1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the segments of the commutator.
Standard: below 1 Ohm
If the result is not as specified, replace the starter armature.
b. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the segment of the commutator and armature coil core.
Standard: 10 kOhms or higher
If the result is not as specified, replace the starter armature.
c. Check the commutator surface for dirt or burning.
If the surface is dirty or burnt, smooth the surface with 400-grit sandpaper or leather.
d. Check the commutator depth.
1. Using vernier calipers, measure the commutator depth.
Standard depth: 3.1 mm (0.122 in.)
Maximum depth: 3.8 mm (0.150 in.)
If the length is greater than the maximum, replace the starter armature assembly.
