If a malfunction occurs in the starting circuit, it is important not to immediately assume that the starter is the cause. Instead, it is recommended to check several other items first. Ensure that the battery cable clamps are clean and securely connected to the battery. Inspect the condition of the battery cables and test the battery and replace any if needed. Check the wiring and connections of the solenoid and the tightness of the starter mounting bolts. Check the ignition switch circuit for correct operation and the Park/Neutral Position switch or clutch-start switch for proper functioning. These systems must be in working order to provide battery voltage to the ignition solenoid. Lastly, check the operation of the starter relay, which can be found in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment. If the starter does not activate when the ignition switch is turned to the start position, it is advised to check for battery voltage to the solenoid. Check all fuses if it is not operating, and if it is available but the starter motor does not operate, remove the starter and test it on a bench. If it turns over slowly, check the cranking voltage and current drawn. The voltage should not drop below 8.5 volts and the current draw should not exceed 400 amps or drop below 250 amps. If the values are not within the range, replace the starter.

To disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, start by removing the intake manifold. Then, disconnect the starter cable from the starter solenoid terminal and proceed to remove the starter mounting bolts. For installation, simply reverse the steps taken during removal.
