Starters - PARIS RHONE: Overhaul: Reassembly

Clean all parts and coat the sliding surface of armature shaft, splines, and bushings with multipurpose grease. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly while noting the following:

  1. After completing reassembly, disconnect the field terminal from solenoid. Connect solenoid to battery and measure clearance of pinion gear to stop collar. Clearance should be 0.02 - 0.099".
  2. If clearance is not within limits, adjust by screwing the plunger fork or adjusting screw in or out to change clearance. Solenoid must be removed to adjust plunger fork (if equipped).
