STARTER MOTOR - PG 150S
Disassembly Procedure
1. Remove the starter. Refer to “Starter” in this section.
2. Remove the starter through-bolts.
A102E239
3. Remove the commutator end frame/brush holder as-

sembly.
4. Inspect the brushes, the pop-out springs, and the
brush holders for wear and damage. Replace the as-
sembly if necessary.
A102E215
5. Check the armature to see if it turns freely. If the ar-

mature does not turn freely, break down the assembly
immediately, starting with Step 12. Otherwise, give
the armature a no-load test.
A102E218

Notice: Complete the testing in a minimum amount of
time to prevent overheating of the solenoid.
Important: If the specified current draw does not in-
clude the solenoid, deduct from the armature reading
the specified current draw of the solenoid hold-in wind-
ing.
6. To begin the no-load test, close the switch and
compare the rpm, the current, and the voltage read-
ings with the specifications. Refer to “Starter Specifi-
cations” in this section. Make disconnections only
with the switch open. Use the test results as follows.
6.1 Rated current draw and no-load speed indi-
cate a normal condition for the starter motor.
6.2 Low free speed and high current draw indicate
too much friction (tight, dirty or worn bearings
or a bent armature shaft), a shorted armature,
A102E219
or a shorted armature or fields.
6.3 Failure to operate with high current draw indi-

cates a direct ground in the terminal or fields,
or “frozen” bearings.
6.4 Failure to operate with no current draw indi-
cates an open field circuit, open armature
coils, broken brush springs, worn brushes,
high insulation between the commutator bars,
or other causes which would prevent good
contact between the brushes and the commu-
tator.
6.5 Low no-load speed and low current indicate
high internal resistance and high current
draw, which usually mean shorted fields.
A102E219
7. Remove the solenoid assembly screws.
A102E226

8. Remove the field connector nut. Disconnect the field
connector.
A102E243
9. Rotate the solenoid 90 degrees and remove it along

with the plunger return spring.
A102E247
Important: If the solenoid is not removed from the start-

er motor, the connector strap terminal must be removed
from the terminal on the solenoid before making these
tests.
10. Test the solenoid windings by checking the current
draw.
10.1 Check the hold-in windings by connecting an
ammeter in series with the 12-volt battery,
the switch terminal, and to ground.
10.2 Connect the carbon pile across the battery.
10.3 Adjust the voltage to 12.2 volts. The ammeter
reading should be 12 to 20 amperes.
Important: Current will decrease as the windings heat
up. Current draw windings that are over specifications
indicate shorted turns, or a ground in the windings of the
solenoid. Both conditions require replacement of the so-
lenoid. Current draw readings that are under specifica-
tions indicate excessive resistance. No reading
A102E221 indicates an open circuit.

11. Check both windings, connecting them according to
the preceding test.
11.1 Ground the solenoid motor terminal.
11.2 Adjust the voltage to 12.2 volts. The ammeter
reading should b 60 to 90 amperes.
11.3 Check the connections and replace the sole-
noid, if necessary.

A102E222
14. Separate the field frame from the armature.
A102E242

15. Inspect the shaft, the bearing, and the pinion for dis-
coloration, damage, or wear. Replace if necessary.
16. Inspect the points where the armature conductors
join the commutator bars. Make sure they have a
good connection. A burned commutator bar is usu-
ally evidence of a poor connection.
17. If test equipment is available, check the armature for
short circuits by placing it on a growler, and holding
back a saw blade over the armature core while the
armature is rotated. If the saw blade vibrates, re-
place the armature.
18. Recheck after cleaning between the commutator bars.
If the saw blade vibrates, replace the armature.

with the return spring.
A102E247
27. Remove the plunger with the boot and the shift lever
assembly.
A302E007
Notice: The pinion clearance must be correct to prevent

the buttons on the shift lever yoke from rubbing on the
clutch collar during the cranking.
28. When the starter motor is disassembled and the so-
lenoid is replaced, it is necessary to check the pinion
clearance.
A102E237

solenoid motor terminal and carefully insulate the
connector.

switch terminal and the other to the starter frame.

motor terminal to the starter frame, allowing shifting
of the pinion in the cranking position, where it will re-
main until the battery is disconnected.
Important: A means for adjusting the pinion clearance
is not provided on the starter motor. If the clearance
does not fall within the limits, check for improper installa-
tion and replace all worn parts.
32. Push the pinion back as far as possible to take up
any movement, and check the clearance with a feel-
er gauge. The clearance should be 0.25 to 3.56 mm
A102E227
(0.01 to 0.14 inch).
Assembly Procedure
1. Clean all of the starter motor parts, but do not use
grease-dissolving solvents for cleaning the armature
and the field coils.
2. Lubricate the gears with lubricant. (Begin at Step 7 if
proceeding with just the reassembly of the solenoid.)
3. If full disassembly of the starter and the solenoid was
performed, begin reassembly by placing the gear
support and the collar on the driveshaft assembly.
C302E016
