Starter - Gasoline Models: Description

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

Starter motor consists of both 4" and 4 1/2" diameter frames, a movable 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.
