NOTE:
No on-vehicle testing, bench testing or overhaul procedures were available for XK8 models at time of publication.
On 4.0L 6-cylinder models, a Bosch DW 1.7K starter is used. Bosch starter consists of a series-wound, 4-pole, 4-brush motor, utilizing either wedge-shaped or conventional brushes. When starter is energized, a housing-mounted solenoid shifts roller-type starter clutch and pinion, engaging ring gear. Starters are pre-engaged type.
