Starter Drive/Bendix: Adjustments

PINION GAP ADJUSTMENT
1. Disconnect the wire from the M-terminal.
2. Connect a 12 V battery between the S-terminal and the M-terminal.




3. Set the switch to "ON", and the pinion will move out.

CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning.




4. Check the pinion to stopper clearance (pinion gap) with a feeler gauge. If the pinion gap is out of specification, adjust by adding or removing washers between the solenoid and the front bracket.

PINION GAP : 0.5 - 2.0 mm (0.0197 - 0.079 in.)
