Description
General
This section has a description and the service procedures for the starter and subassemblies.
Description
The reduction starter (Figure 1) is a positive shift
type starter assembly consisting of the yoke assem-
bly, the armature assembly, the clutch assembly, the
magnetic switch assembly, and the reduction gears.
In the reduction type starter, the armature rotation
speed transferred to the pinion is reduced by one-
third to one-fourth by the reduction gears. The ro-
tation is transferred to the pinion through the clutch
mechanism.

Operation
2200 SRM 755
YOKE ASSEMBLY
The yoke assembly consists of the yoke, pole shoes,
field windings, and brushes.
The field windings are connected in series with the
armature windings through brushes and commuta-
tors. Unlike conventional starters, the two positive
brushes are welded to the field windings.
ARMATURE ASSEMBLY
The armature assembly consists of the windings,
commutator, felt wick oiler, and shaft. The armature
is supported by two high-speed ball bearings.
The armature windings are mounted in a core and
reinsulated from the core and each other. The wind-
ings are connected at the commutator segments.
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
The clutch assembly consists of the pinion, pinion
shaft, and clutch. The clutch is supported by two
high-speed ball bearings. Screw splines are ma-
chined on the rear of the pinion shaft.
MAGNETIC SWITCH ASSEMBLY
The magnetic switch assembly (Figure 2) consists
of the main contacts, plunger, plunger shaft, pull-in
coil, hold-in coil, and return spring.

Figure 2. Magnetic Switch Assembly
Operation
The positive battery cable is connected to the large
terminal on the magnetic switch assembly. See Fig-
ure 3. Battery voltage is not applied to the starter
until the ignition switch closes. The magnetic switch
moves the linkage and the drive clutch to engage the
starter pinion with the ring gear. At the end of its
stroke, the plunger of the magnetic switch closes the
main switch contacts. The current then flows to the
armature windings. The starter pinion turns the fly-
wheel ring gear.
When the starter switch is closed, the battery cur-
rent flows through the pull-in coil and the hold-in
coil. This causes the plunger to be pulled in to make
contact with the main contacts. Battery current then
flows through the main contacts to the armature
windings and the starter begins to crank the engine.
At the same time, the hold-in coil maintains the
plunger in the pull-in position.
When the starting switch is opened and the magnetic
switch contacts are closed, the current flows through
both the pull-in coil and the hold-in coil in the same
direction. The magnetic force in the hold-in coil is
reduced, allowing the plunger to be pulled back to its
original position by the force of the return spring and
by opening the magnetic switch main contacts.

General Checks and Adjustments
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more than 30 sec-
onds. Be sure to wait at least 2 minutes be-
tween checks.
Before removing the starter, make the following
checks:
1. Check battery voltage using a battery breakdown
tester. Make sure battery tests good.
2. Inspect all connections to battery, starter mag-
netic switch, key switch, and neutral start
switch. Clean and tighten, if necessary.
After removing the starter, but before disassembly,
make the following checks:
1. Check ring gear (on flywheel) for damage.
2. Check pinion gear (on drive clutch) for damage.
The pinion must turn in one direction and lock in
the other. Replace complete assembly if any part
has damage.
CAUTION
The pinion will move toward the drive end
housing when turned in the locked direction.
Do not turn it too far or it will lock in the
extended position.
3. Check for cracks in drive end housing.
When the starter is disassembled, make the follow-
ing checks: Armature Tests, Yoke Test, Brush and
Brush Holder Check, and Magnetic Switch Test.

Armature Tests
2200 SRM 755
Armature Tests
ARMATURE SHORT CIRCUIT TEST
Using a growler tester, place the armature on the
tester and hold a hacksaw blade against the coil
while slowly rotating the armature. See Figure 4. If
the armature has a short circuit, the blade vibrates
and is attracted to the core. Replace armature if it
has a short circuit.
Figure 4. Armature Short Circuit Test
ARMATURE WINDING GROUND TEST
Touch one wire of an ohmmeter to the armature shaft
and the other to each commutator bar as shown in
Figure 5. The armature has a short circuit to ground
if the ohmmeter indicates a complete circuit.
Figure 5. Armature Ground Test
COMMUTATOR RUN-OUT TEST
First check the armature commutator surface for
burn spots. This usually indicates an open circuit.
If the commutator has visible burn spots, replace
armature.
Check commutator run-out as shown in Figure 6.
Maximum allowable run-out is 0.4 mm. If run-out
exceeds the limit, replace armature.
Figure 6. Commutator Run-Out Test

2200 SRM 755
Brush and Brush Holder Check
Yoke Test
1. Touch one wire of an ohmmeter to the field frame
and the other to the field coil brushes as shown
in Figure 7. If the meter indicates a complete cir-
cuit, the field coils have a short circuit to ground.
Replace yoke.
2. Connect ohmmeter to ends of field coils. The me-
ter must indicate a complete circuit. If it does not
show a complete circuit, replace yoke.
3. Check that brush springs have enough tension.
4. Check brushes for wear. The brushes must be at
least one-third the length of new ones.
5. Check for bad solder connections at commutator
bars. Solder connections that have damage.
Figure 7. Yoke Winding Continuity Test
Brush and Brush Holder Check
1. Check brush for excessive wear. Replace brush
when it has reached two-thirds of its original
size. See Figure 8.
Figure 8. Brush Measurement
2. Check brush spring for rust or damage and re-
place if necessary.
BRUSH HOLDER INSULATION TEST
Using an ohmmeter, touch one probe to the positive
(+) brush holder and the other to the brush holder
plate. The ohmmeter should indicate an open circuit.
If the ohmmeter shows continuity, replace or repair
brush holder or plate.
CLUTCH TEST
Inspect pinion and make sure it can be rotated freely
in the direction of the starter rotation and that it is
locked in the opposite direction.
