Pinion Gap
- Measure the pinion gap while the pinion is pulled out. See Fig 1 . If the motor is running with the pinion forced endwise on shaft, disconnect the connector from terminal M of switch assembly, and then connect terminal M to ground terminal (-) of battery with a lead wire. Next, gently push the pinion back with your fingertips, and then measure the pinion gap.
- If the pinion gap is outside specified range, remove or add number of adjustment washers used on the mounting surface of switch assembly until correct pinion gap is obtained.
