  2. Maximum commutator runout and minimum diameter of commutator must not exceed specification after turning. See STARTER MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  3. Commutator mica undercut depth should be .02-.03" (.5-.8 mm). If undercut depth is not within specification, undercut with a hacksaw blade to standard depth.
