Pull-In Windings Test
Connect test equipment as in hold-in windings test. See HOLD-IN WINDINGS TEST. See Fig 1. Ground starter solenoid terminal "M". Turn switch on and quickly adjust carbon pile load until voltage reads as specified. Check ammeter reading. Turn off carbon pile and open switch. On gasoline engines, at 10 volts reading should be 60-85 amps. On diesel engines, at 10 volts reading should be 52-59 amps. If ammeter reading is not as specified, replace starter solenoid.
