retaining ring. Use two pairs of pliers to
force thrust collar over ring.
(2) If brushes have been replaced, seat them
using No. 00 sandpaper before assembling
the end frame. Blow the brush particles off
the commutator so that they will not cause a
short circuit during operation.
(3)
Check the pinion clearance after
reassembly by connecting the starting motor
and a battery in the circuit. Disconnect the
motor field lead from the solenoid motor
terminal.
Caution
Insulate the motor field lead
carefully to avoid arcing during the
checking procedure.
(4) Momentarily touch the jumper lead from the
solenoid motor terminal to the motor frame.
This will shift the pinion into cranking
position. It will stay in this position until the
battery is disconnected.
(5)
Push the pinion back toward the

the starting motor as described in b above,
Always blow particles off the
and
commutator in the direction away
from the armature windings.
(5) Check the brush holders for distortion,
cracks, breaks, or other damage; replace
damaged brush holders.
(6) Inspect the drive assembly for cracks,
breaks, clutching action, or other damage; replace the
drive assembly if any parts are damaged.
(7) Check the armature and field windings for
short circuits, grounds, and open circuits
using the same method described for the
generator parts (para 108
c). Replace the
starting motor if the armature of the field
windings is shorted, grounded, or open.
(8) If removed, replace the bushing in the drive
housing.
Replace the springs if brush
tension is not 24 to 28 ounces.
