Tag and removewires to the pilot relay (6, figure 13-4).b.Inspection. Remove inspection plug (102, figure13-4). If any brush is less than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)long, the complete set of brushes should bereplaced.c.Test.Testing of the starter motor assemblyconsists of a no-load test of the complete unit andcomponent tests to determine part serviceability.Before conducting the no-load test check thearmature for freedom of rotation. Use a screwdriver to turn the pinion on the exposed driveassembly (25, figure 13-4) in the drive housing(16). Tight bearings, bent armature shaft, or aloose pole shoe screw will cause armaturebinding. If the armature does not turn freely,disassemble the unit immediately. If thearmature rotates freely, conduct the no-load testbelow before disassembling the motor.CAUTIONDonotallowthestartermotortooperatemorethan30 seconds. Allow it to cool at least two minutesbefore reenergizing the motor. Overheating willdamagethemotor.(1)Connect the starter assembly asshown in figure 13-5.(2)Close the switch and vary thecarbon pile to obtain 20 volts on thevoltmeter.(3)Starter motor speed at aminimum current draw of 95 amps shall be5500 rpm. Motor speed at the maximumcurrent draw of 120 amps shall be 7500rpm.(a) Low speed and highcurrent draw indicate armature dragcaused by tight, dirty or wornbearings, bent armature shaft orloose pole shoes, a shorted orgrounded armature and fields.(b) Failure to operate withhigh current draw indicates a directground in the terminal or fields.(c) Failure to operate with nocurrent draw indicates an open fieldcircuit, open armature coils, brokenbrush' springs, worn brushes, highinsulation between commutator barsor other conditions resulting in poorcontact between the brushes andcommutator.(d) Low speed and lowcurrent draw indicates high internalresistance due to poor connections,defective leads or a dirty commutator.(e) High speed and highcurrent draw indicate shorted fields.Replace the field coil assembly andretest the motor.(4) Disassemble the starter motor,inspect and test components as necessary.d.Disassembly. Disassemble the starter motoronly to the extent necessary to repair or replacedefective parts. Disassemble in accordance withfigure 13-4.(1) Note the relative positions of thenose housing (16), lever housing (37), andsolenoid switch (36) so that the motor canbe reassembled in the same manner.(2) Tag and disconnect the field coilconnector from the solenoid M terminal andlead from the ground terminal.(3) Remove four screws and13-6
