July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Commutator Test

  1. Clean and polish commutator with No. 400 grit sandpaper (if required). If surface is scored, out of round, or pitted, turn commutator on a lathe.
  2. Maximum commutator runout and minimum diameter of commutator must not exceed specification after turning. See the STARTER MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  3. Commutator mica undercut depth should be 0.02-0.03" (0.5-0.8 mm). If undercut depth is not within specification, undercut to standard depth.
