Magnetic Switch Return Test

CAUTION: To prevent coil from burning, DO NOT apply voltage to starter assembly for more than 10 seconds.
  1. Disconnect field coil wire from the "M" terminal of the magnetic switch.
  2. Connect a 12 volt battery between "M" terminal and the body.
  3. Pull pinion out and release. If pinion returns quickly to its original position, everything is in order. If it doesn't, replace the magnetic switch.
