Condition




If the carbon brushes, brush springs, commutator or windings for the starter motor are defective, the starter motor will not be able to deliver full power.

Possible source
- Worn carbon brushes or too low pressure in the brush springs
- Large resistance because of a dirty commutator
- Short-circuit in the windings
- Defective bearing which makes the rotor drag against the pole pieces.

Fault symptom[s]
- Low rotation speed in the starter motor.
