No Load Test
- 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.
- Connect a voltmeter (16 volt scale) across starter. Rotate rheostat to full resistance position. Connect battery cable from negative battery terminal to starter housing.
- Adjust rheostat until voltage shown on voltmeter is 11 volts. Check specifications for maximum amperage draw and minimum RPM.
