P 1 8OO F8u Ity starter motor. Test by disconnecting the battery lead *rom the solenoid and folding it ag8inst the connection to the starter motor. If the starter motor does not function, it must be removed for testing and repair. It the starter motor does not function, do not hold the Iead against the terminal for more than a *ew seconds. THE _ARTER MO7OR HAS POOR OUTPUT Battey in poor condition. Test and charge up if nec8ssay. Large resistance in starter motor circuit. EKamine all lead connections on the starter motor and the teads between fhe motor and chass'is. Make sure that the contact surfaces are clean, that all cable terminals are well so!dered 8nd _ tighten the I8ads properly. Poor contact in control solenoid. Compare the starter motor output with and with- out the control solenoid by disconnecting the le8d on the soleno_id and holding it directIy onto tfe _ starter motor output stud. A faulty control solenoid must be replaced. Faulty starter motor. Remove and test the starter motor. THE STAR7ER MOTOff SPIMS WITHOUT EMGAGIMG 7HE FLYWH EEL RIMG G EAff Ring gear on fIywh8el damaged.

Fan belt worn out or insufficiently tensioned. RepIace or tension the fan belt. Faulty dynamo. Disconnect the lead for the rotor current and the Iead to the battery from the chargíng control and connect an ammeter in series with these. Start the engine and let it run at id l ing speed. Connect the terminal for the field current to the dynamo housing. If the ammeter at tfis stage, and when the speed is increased, shows too small a reading, the dynamo must be removed for eKamination Bnd repair. _._ 3-4_
