Engine,

Multimeter

Watch

Multimeter should indicate

right side

more than 7.7 volts. If

indication is less than 7.7

volts, use multimeter and

check for excessive resis-

tance in starter solenoid

control circuit. Check and

clean solenoid terminals

using a wire brush and

repeat this step

NOTE

If voltage exceeds 7.7 volts but starter does not pull in, the starter or

solenoid is defective and must be removed and repaired. If the solenoid

chatters but does not hold in, the solenoid is defective and must be re-

placed (notify direct support maintenance). If solenoid pulls in and starter

gear engages the flywheel, but engine does not crank, or cranks slowly,

first check for high resistance connections in battery circuit.

connections are okay, starter is defective and must be removed and

repaired.
