Starter (For 2.0 Kw Type) -- Inspection



1. INSPECT STARTER ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
As a large electric current passes through the cable during this inspection, a thick cable must be used. If not, the cable may become hot and cause injury.
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed within 3 to 5 seconds to prevent the coil from burning out.
  1. Mount the starter assembly in a vise between aluminum plates.



  1. Perform a pull-in test.

    1. Remove the nut and disconnect the lead wire from terminal C.
