Hold-In Windings Test

  1. If solenoid is not removed from starter motor assembly, disconnect field lead from terminal "M" on solenoid and insulate field lead from solenoid motor terminal. Connect an ammeter in series with 12-volt battery and starter solenoid terminal "S". See Figure. Connect a voltmeter between solenoid terminal "S" and ground. Connect a carbon pile across battery.
  2. Turn switch on and adjust carbon pile load until voltage reads 10 volts (11.5 volts on PG260). Check ammeter reading. Turn off carbon pile and open switch. If amperage reading is not between 10-20 amps, replace starter solenoid.
