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 "M" terminal of the magnetic switch. See Fig 1 .
  2. Connect 12-volt battery between the "S" terminal and body.
  3. Manually pull out the pinion as far as the pinion stopper position.
  4. If the pinion remains out, everything is operating properly. If pinion moves in, hold-in circuit is open. Replace the magnetic switch.
