DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

3.A defective Starter Motor switch.

4.Broken, damaged or weak magnets.

5.Starter drive dirty or binding.

PROCEDURE:

The battery should have been checked prior to this test and should be fully charged.

Set a voltmeter to measure DC voltage (12 VDC). Connect the meter positive (+) test lead to the Starter Contactor stud which has the small jumper wire con- nected to the Starter. Connect the common (-) test lead to the Starter Motor frame.

Set the Start-Stop Switch to its START position and observe the meter. Meter should Indicate battery volt- age, Starter Motor should operate and engine should crank.

RESULTS:

1.If battery voltage is indicated on the meter but Starter Motor did not operate, remove and bench test the Starter Motor (see fol- lowing test).

2.If battery voltage was indicated and the Starter Motor tried to engage (pinion engaged), but engine did not crank, check for mechanical binding of the engine or rotor.

NOTE: If a starting problem is encountered, the engine itself should be thoroughly checked to eliminate it as the cause of starting difficulty. It is a good practice to check the engine for freedom of rotation by removing the spark plugs and turn- ing the crankshaft over slowly by hand, to be sure it rotates freely.

*WARNING!: DO NOT ROTATE ENGINE WITH ELECTRIC STARTER WITH SPARK PLUGS REMOVED. ARCING AT THE SPARK PLUG ENDS MAY IGNITE THE GASOLINE VAPOR EXITING THE SPARK PLUG HOLE.

CHECKING THE PINION:

When the Starter Motor is activated, the pinion gear should move and engage the flywheel ring gear. If the pinion does not move normally, inspect the pinion for binding or sticking.

TOOLS FOR STARTER PERFORMANCE TEST:

The following equipment may be used to complete a performance test of the Starter Motor:

•A clamp-on ammeter.

•A tachometer capable of reading up to 10,000 rpm.

•A fully charged 12 volt battery.

Measuring Current:

To read the current flow, in AMPERES, a clamp-on ammeter may be used. This type of meter indicates current flow through a conductor by measuring the strength of the magnetic field around that conductor.

Figure 6-31. – Clamp-On Ammeter

Tachometer:

A tachometer is available from your Generac Power Systems source of supply. Order as P/N 042223. The tachometer measures from 800 to 50,000 RPM (see Figure 6-32).
