Starter motor test

Carlos

Member
Hello, here I'm again...When I finish the valve timing of my engine, I would like to test the starter motor ( of course, once I'm sure that the timing is correct
and no valve valve hitting any piston :eek: )
I´m enclosing a picture of the contacts in the back of the starter solenoid.
What are the contacts that I have to connect in order to test the starter, prior to put the engine back in the car ?

Thanks people !

Hi Carlos,
Have a look at the attached photo.
Terminal A should permanently live, connected to the battery positive. The body of the starter should be connected to the negative.
If you connect the terminal B also to the positive, the starter should operate i.e. the pinion should move forwards and start turning.
The terminal C should be used only in case your car uses a ballasted ignition, it becomes live only when the starter motor operates, and should be connected to the positive side of the coil.IMG_2091.JPG
