No-Load Test
CAUTION:
Perform tests in less than 10 seconds to prevent damage to the coil.
- Install starter in soft-jawed vise. Connect starter in series with a fully-charged 12-volt battery. Connect a 100-amp ammeter and carbon pile rheostat in series with positive battery post and starter motor terminal. See Fig 1 .
- Install voltmeter across starter motor. Adjust carbon pile rheostat to full resistance. Connect cable from starter motor body to negative battery terminal. Adjust carbon pile rheostat to proper test voltage. Ensure maximum amperage is as specified and starter rotates smoothly. See STARTER NO-LOAD TEST SPECIFICATIONS table.
