Engine Mechanical: Starter: Description

The starting system includes a 4-pole, 4-brush starting motor with an integral positive engagement drive, a starter-ignition switch, starter solenoid (starter relay), and heavy circuit wiring.

Starter motor consists of a 4" (102 mm) diameter frame, a moveable pole shoe, and appropriate linkage to engage the drive mechanism. Inside the drive assembly, an overrunning clutch prevents starter motor from being driven to excessive speed by the ring gear when the engine starts.
