Check 12 Volt Starter Motor
A performance test of starter motor may be made in the
following manner.
Check Starter Motor Drive and Clutch
1.
When starter switch is activated, pinion gear should rise,
engage flywheel ring gear, and crank engine. This should
be observed.
CAUTION
2.
3.
If starter motor drive does not react properly, inspect helix
and pinion gear for freeness of operation.
GROUND SPARK plug wire using Briggs &
Stratton Tool #19051 or #19368, Ignition Tester,
before doing this test. Do not engage starter motor
more than five seconds.
Pinion gear must move freely on helix for correct starter
operation. If any sticking occurs, this must be corrected,
Fig. 92.
