Starter No Load Test

To perform test, connect starter as shown in Fig 1. To obtain voltage specified in Delco-Remy Starter Specifications, adjust carbon pile. Then read current draw and armature speed and compare these readings with specifications.

CAUTION: Do not apply voltage greater than specified; excessive voltage may cause armature to throw windings because of excessive speed.
