No-Load Test
Connect fully-charged 12-volt battery, voltmeter and ammeter to starter. See Figure . Using remote starter wires or jumper, engage solenoid. Starter should spin smoothly. Compare readings with specifications. See NO-LOAD TEST SPECIFICATIONS table. If voltage is less than specified, amperage is more than specified or shaft speed is less than specified, disassemble and inspect starter components.
