STARTING MOTOR
The starting motor consists of parts shown below and has permanent magnets mounted in the starter motor yoke (hous-
ing). The magnetic switch assembly and parts in the starting motor are enclosed in the housing so that they will be
protected against possible dirt and water exposure. In the circuit shown in figure on page , the magnetic (motor)
switch coils are magnetized when the ignition switch is closed. The resulting plunger and pinion drive lever movement
causes the pinion to engage the flywheel gear and the magnetic switch main contacts to close, and cranking takes
place. When the engine starts the pinion over–running clutch protects the armature from excessive speed until the
switch is opened, at which time the return spring causes the pinion to disengage.
