Starter problem
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2015 10:26 pm
Hi all. Sorry if this has been posted before but I can not find anything about it.
Suddenly my starter stopped working, Ive done all checks.
Battery = New, fine
Solenoid = Fine (jumped)
Dismantled and cleaned it.
Continuity between positive pole to brush = Continuity
Continuity between positive pole and case = No continuity (60k Ohms)
Continuity between commutator pairs = Continuity
Continuity between commutator and shaft = No Continuity
When assembled there is continuity between the positive and the shaft but I guess this happens through the commutator.
Brushes are at their end of life and need replacement but they make contact and I don't think its the problem now.
After assembly the motor turns but very slowly and consumes 30 amps. Any idea?
Thanks.
Ramon
