Cleaning & Inspection

CAUTION: DO NOT  clean starter in degreasing tank or with grease dissolving solvents. This will remove lubricant from clutch mechanism.

Starter motors do not require lubrication, except during overhaul. Roll-type overrunning clutch requires no lubrication. Drive assembly, however, should be wiped clean and lubricated with silicon grease on shaft, underneath overrunning clutch assembly. See Fig 1 .
