The starter assembly is a positive pinion shift,
reduction type starter consisting of the motor,
reduction gearset, overrunning clutch and electric
solenoid.
The reduction type design allows use of a small, high
speed, compact motor.
The sliding pinion and the electric solenoid are
arranged on the same axis. The sliding pinion
mechanism is totally enclosed, preventing dirt and
water entry resulting in a more durable mechanism.
