MALFUNCTION
TEST OR INSPECTION
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. STARTER MOTOR DOES NOT TURN-HIGH CURRENT DRAW.
Step 1. Check starter for grounded switch, terminals, or field (paragraph 5-2).
Replace any grounded component.
Step 2. Check for frozen armature shaft bushing (paragraph 5-2).
Replace bushing and, if necessary, armature.
2. STARTER DOES NOT TURN-NO CURRENT DRAW.
Step 1. Check for open armature windings (paragraph 5-2).
Replace armature if necessary.
Step 2. Check for open starter field windings (paragraph 5-2).
Replace field windings if necessary.
Step 3. Check for broken or weak brush springs (paragraph 5-2).
Replace brush springs if necessary.

3. SLOW STARTER SPEED.
Step 1. Check for dirty commutator (paragraph 5-2).
Clean or refinish commutator.
Step 2. Check for worn armature shaft bushings (paragraph 5-2).
Replace bushings and, if necessary, armature.
Step 3. Check for burned solenoid contacts (paragraph 5-2).
Replace solenoid.
Step 4. Check for open or shorted starter field windings (paragraph 5-2).
Replace windings if necessary.
Step 5. Check for shorted generator stator windings (paragraph 8-2).
Replace stator windings.
Step 6. Check for worn generator end bearing (paragraph 8-2).
