Bench Testing CVH Starter

Hi
I want to bench test my CVH starter motor. What terminals should I connect to the 12V battery +ve and -ve?

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

If my logic is correct;

A = Main 12V feed from battery (High Current)
B = Solenoid 12V (Lower Current from Ignition Switch)
C = Solenoid out to motor

Casing = Earth

Thanks. I'll try it once the kids are in bed.

Clamp or bolt the negative earth to the mounting flange and touch the positive to C just to spin it over. Clamp it in something while you do it.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Does C refer to contact on the solenoid? If so, then that is not connected to -.

Nothing is connected to C since this should be wired to the starter motor.

The negative - of battery goes to starter body.

To test solenoid:

+ to B, - to motor body


To test motor
+ to C, - to body

To test motor and solenoid

+ to A, - to body, touch B with + and solenoid should close causing motor to spin.

Id suggest you put your foot on the motor as I expcet the torqye reaction would casue it to jump, then gain, maybe not but you will get some nice fat sparks
