No Load Test

  1. Place starter in a vise. Use a fully charged 12 volt battery. Connect an ammeter (0 - 100 scale) and a carbon pile rheostat in series with battery positive terminal and starter terminal.
  2. Connect a voltmeter (16 volt scale) across starter. Rotate rheostat to full resistance position. Connect battery cable from negative battery terminal to starter housing.
  3. Adjust rheostat until voltage shown on voltmeter is 11 volts. Check specifications for maximum amperage draw and minimum RPM.
