6. When testing a series coil for ground, separate the series and the shunt coil strap terminals during the test.
6.1 With the strap terminals not touching the case or the other ground, using a test lamp, place one lead on the grounded brush holder and the
other lead on either insulated brush.
6.2 If the lamp is lit, a grounded series coil is indicated and must be repaired or replaced.
6.3 Test for an open circuit on each insulated brush by placing one lead on the series coil terminal and the other lead on the insulated brush.
6.4 If the test lamp is not lit, the series coil is open and will require repair or replacement.
7. Check the armature to see if it turns freely. If the armature does not turn freely, break down the assembly immediately, starting with Step 14.
Otherwise, give the armature a no-load test.
NOTE: Complete the testing in a minimum amount of time to prevent overheating and damaging the solenoid.
IMPORTANT: If the specified current draw does not include the solenoid, deduct from the armature reading the specified current draw of the
solenoid hold-in winding.
8. To begin the no-load test, close the switch and compare the rpm, the current, and the voltage readings with the specifications. Make disconnections
only with the switch open. Use the test results as follows:
8.1 Rated current draw and no-load speed indicate a normal condition for the starter motor.
