how NOT to bench test a starter motor
do not try this

Starter test
Testing a starter means finding out how healthy it is, or how many amp it is drawing. You can use a multimeter to test how many volts the starter is being supplied by the battery. But you CANNOT use a multimeter to test the health of a starter because a multimeter measures volts and we need to measure amps. If you use a multimeter on the amp circuit you WILL burn your meter out, or at least blow the internal fuse. So, be sure to use an amp meter, not a volt meter.
