Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between starter solenoid "M" terminal wire and brushes. See Fig 1 . If continuity does not exist, replace field coil assembly. Check for continuity between "M" terminal wire and field coil. See Fig 2 . If continuity exists, replace field coil assembly. Check field coil for looseness. If field coil is loose, replace field coil assembly.
