Checking The Commutator

  1. Place the armature on a pair of V- blocks and check the runout by using a dial gauge. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. Check the outer diameter of the commutator. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  .
  3. Check the depth of the undercut between segments. See STARTER SPECIFICATIONS  .
  4. Replace commutator if runout, diameter or undercut depth are not within specification.
