Starter Motor

The starter motor is fitted to the engine block. A solenoid engages a pinion with the ring gear on the engine's flywheel.

When the engine is started and the engine speed exceeds the starter motor rpm, the pinion is disengaged from its shaft via a free wheel. This prevents the starter motor from overrevving.
