The electric Engine that starts your outboard may desire, at some aim, an supply. If not, replace the commutator.3. Inspect the pinion drive for damaged teeth. Replace, if necessary.
1. Remove the four bolts securing the starter housing and armature face, using a 1/4-inch open-end wrench. Remove the starter housing. Observe the permanent magnets in the starter housing for damage, debris or corrosion. Disinfected, as required. A damaged magnetite requires starter housing replacement. Compare the brush springs for colour and length. Interchange the springs provided they are either extended or own a bluish colour.
2. Wrap the maw of a vice in a dish cloth. Secure the armature in the vice, with the orifice honorable tight Sufficiently to deposit the armature from Stirring. Degree the depth of each mica undercut on the commutator, using a micrometer. Each undercut must be more than 0.008 inches. While, still of the course of rebuilding a starter Engine is a cleaning mechanism, most of the drudge involves ensuring the electrical windings, brushes and commutator are in exceptional working cast. With a multimeter, a unusual tools and cleaners, both electrical and mechanical, you can effectively ante up your outboard a original starter. Provided you must moderate parts, though, cogitate the worth of the parts against the reward of a virgin starter Engine.
Instructions
Visually inspect the splines of the armature shaft for damage. Spin the pinion drive onto and off the splines, and replace if the pinion drives does not move easily.
4. Polish the commutator surface, using 300-grit emery cloth. Place one probe of a multimeter on the commutator shaft and one on the core to check for continuity, indicating a short. Move the probes between the segments, where continuity should exist. If it does not, open circuits exist. If either a short or open exist, replace the commutator.
5. Place one multimeter probe on the positive side of the brush plate ground and one on the brush plate. Continuity must exist. If it does not, replace both the brush plate grounds. Blow debris from the armature and commutator cover using canned, compressed air.
6. Clean all of the components, except the brush plate and brushes, using a mild solvent such as acetone. Clean the brush plate and brushes with electrical contact cleaner.
7. Reassemble the overhauled starter.
