NO‑LOAD STARTER CURRENT DRAW
12 VOLT STARTER MOTORS
(STARTER MOTOR REMOVED FROM ENGINE)
To check the no‑load amperage draw of a 12 volt
starter motor that is removed from the engine, a
xture as shown in the gure should be used. See
the diagram for the parts necessary to make a test
set‑up.
CAUTION: DO NOT clamp motor housing
in a vise. Starter motors contain two ceramic
magnets which can be broken or cracked if
the motor housing is deformed or dented.
NOTE: When checking starter current draw, battery
voltage must not be below 11.7 volts.
1. Install shunt on - (negative) battery terminal.
2. Insert RED test lead into v
receptacle in
meter and RED receptacle on shunt.
3. Insert BLACK test lead into
receptacle in
meter and BLACK receptacle on shunt.

4. Rotate meter selector to
position.
5. Activate the starter switch:
a. Note RPM on vibration tachometer.
b. Note amperage on meter.
6. Note starter motor housing length and refer to
Table 1 for test specications for starter motor
being tested.
7. If the starter motor does not meet the
specications shown in the chart, refer to the
Repair Instruction Manual, Section 7, for service
and repair procedure.
