What are the reasons for the starter not working?
1 Answers
The reasons for the starter not working are: 1. Insufficient battery charge; 2. Loose or detached starter terminals, switch or solenoid failure; 3. Worn brushes or improper brush alignment, weak springs; 4. Short circuit or open circuit in the field coil or armature coil; 5. Dirty commutator or protruding mica causing poor brush-to-commutator contact. The solutions for a non-working starter are: 1. Charge or replace the battery; 2. Clean the wiring and tighten the terminals; 3. Clean the brush surface or replace the brushes; 4. Repair or replace the assembly; 5. Replace with the recommended suitable engine oil. Precautions for starter use include: 1. Shift the transmission into neutral before starting; 2. Do not operate the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts; 3. Immediately release the ignition switch after the engine starts to cut off the starter and stop its operation; 4. Turn the key back immediately after the engine starts to allow the starter's drive pinion to disengage promptly.
