support bracket (12) down and away from starter. On
Style II Starter, support bracket is not fastened to the
starter, loosen screw (10), Iockwasher (11) and swing
support bracket down and away.
NOTE
Support bracket and associated hard-
ware must remain with engine at all
times! It provides support for Style I
Starters that may be used to replace
Style II Starters during Operator and
Organizational maintenance. The
support bracket and associated hard-
ware is supplied on all engines
manufactured with either the Style I or
Style II Starters.
Support starter (15) and remove screws (13), lock
washers (14) attaching starter to flywheel housing
(17). Slide starter out of housing.
c. Cleaning and Inspection of Starter Brushes
Solenoid and Drive.
(1) Cleaning Starter. Refer to paragraph
3-16a.
(2) Inspecting Solenoid Switch.
(a) Style I Starter. Refer to figure 4-22.
Inspect solenoid switch (1) for cracks, dents, or other
physical damage. Check to see that the electrical ter-
minals are clean and free of corrosion. Check that the
rubber boot (2) on plunger (3), cotter pin (4), clevis pin
(5), and yoke (6) are in good condition. Check that
plunger (3) and yoke (6) operate freely. Check that so-
lenoid switch (1) is securely fastened to the starter
motor (8), with screws (14).
(b) Style II Starter. Refer to figure 4-22A.
Inspect solenoid switch (3) for cracks, dents, or other
physical damage. Check to see that the electrical ter-
minals are clean and free of corrosion. Check that
solenoid switch (3) is securely fastened to the starter
motor (4), with screws (1).
(3) Inspecting Drive Assembly. Refer to fig-
ure 4-22 for Style I Starter and figure 4-22A for Style II
Starter. Inspect drive gear for cracks or chipped teeth.
Check that gear and spring of drive moves freely, and
returns to rear position when released.
(4) Inspecting Brushes.
(a) Style I Starter. Refer to figure 4-21.
Remove two through bolts (1) and lift end plate (2)
away from frame. Lift brush tension springs (3) and lift
each brush (4) from holder for inspection. Check brush
face for deep surface pits, cracks, or excessive chip-
ping. Measure brush length. See figure 4-21. When
brush is worn to length less than 1/4 inch, notify higher
level maintenance for replacement of brushes (4).
Clean area around brushes and commutator and dry
with low pressure compressed air. Lift brush springs
(3) and insert brushes (4) in brush holder. Reposition
end plate (2) on frame and insert and tighten through
bolts (1) securely.
d. Bench Test.
(1) Starter Assembly. Refer to paragraph
4-26a.
(2) Field Coil. Connect continuity tester as
shown In figure 4-19, Test c. An open circuit indicates
a defective field coil.
Test for continuity between field coil lead and field
frame as shown in figure 4-19, Test d. Continuity indi-
cates that the field coil is shorted to the field frame.
(3) Field Coil. Style II Starter.
(a) Connect tester for continuity between
the field coil brushes as shown in figure 4-20, Test C.
An open circuit indicates a defective field coil.
(b) Connect tester for continuity between
afield brush and stator frame as shown in figure 4-20,
Test D. Continuity indicates that the field coil is shorted
to the frame.
e. Repair. Style I Starter.
(1) Remove Solenoid. If solenoid is defective,
remove as follows: Refer to figure 422. Remove nut
and Iockwasher holding lead (12) on small solenoid
switch terminal. Remove nut and Iockwasher from
negative terminal (9) freeing lead (12). Remove nut
and Iockwasher from solenoid field terminal (11). Re-
move cotter pin (4) and clevis pin (5) from plunger (3)
and yoke (6). Remove screws (14) and lift solenoid
switch (1) from frame (8). Retain hardware from termi-
nals for solenoid installation.
