Magnetic Switch Hold-In Test

CAUTION: To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
  1. Disconnect the field coil wire from the "M" terminal of the magnetic switch.
  2. Connect a 12V battery between "S" terminal and the body.
  3. If the pinion moves out, everything is in order. If the pinion moves back and forth repeatedly, the hold-in circuit is open. Replace magnetic switch.
