This procedure will not work on Leece-Neville it may be engaged manually, if Limitation ● None Personnel/Time Required ● 2 soldiers ● 15-25 minutes Materials/Tools ● Long screwdriver ● Stick starters. If starter is good but solenoid will not engage, the starter is Delco Remy or Prestolite. o 2 Procedural Steps: 1. Remove the inspection plug (1) from the end of the solenoid (shift lever housing). 2. Use a screwdriver or anything small enough to enter the inspection hole, push inward on the top of the shift lever connected to the solenoid plunger (2), top end of shift lever (3). This will engage the starter drive piston and energize the starter. 3.
