Checking Runout & Diameter
- Check Armature Runout - Support armature with "V" blocks positioned at each bearing end of armature. Using a dial indicator check armature runout at center of commutator and at end of armature. See Fig 1 . For specification, see STARTER SPECIFICATIONS . Replace armature if armature runout exceeds specification. See OVERHAUL .
- Measure Armature Diameter - Using a caliper, measure commutator outside diameter at center of commutator. See Fig 2 . For specification, see STARTER SPECIFICATIONS . Replace armature if commutator outside diameter is not within specification. See OVERHAUL .
