Electric starter relay
The electric starter on the MTD engine uses a relay
that acts as a remote switch instead of a solenoid,
which would also move the bendix gear out to engage
the flywheel. The bendix gear on this starter will move
to engage the flywheel by centrifugal force. The relay is
mounted on the side of the engine, next to the oil dip
stick. See Figure 6.13.
To remove/replace the starter relay:
1. Unplug the starter harness. See Figure 6.13.
2. Remove the screw that secures the relay and
dip stick tube using a 10mm wrench.
3. Disconnect the two 12 AWG wires from the bot-
tom of the relay.
