   If there is no continuity between any segments, replace the starter armature.

2. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between the commutator and armature coil core.

If there is continuity, replace the starter armature.

2.  check the commutator surface for dirt or burn.

   If the surface is dirty or burnt, smooth the surface with 400–grit sandpaper or lathe.

3. Check the commutator depth.

1.  Using vernier calipers, measure the commutator depth.
