Description & Operation

A direct drive starter or gear reduction starter may be used depending on vehicle application. The starting system includes the battery, starter motor, solenoid switch, ignition switch, inhibitor switch (A/T only), connecting wires and the battery cables.

When the ignition is turned in START position, current flows and energizes the starter solenoid coil. The solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever are activated and the clutch pinion engages the ring gear. The contacts close and starter motor cranks.
