Description & Operation

The starting system includes the battery, starter motor, solenoid switch, ignition switch, inhibitor switch (A/T only), connection wires and the battery cables.

When ignition switch is in START position, starter solenoid is activated and energizes the starter. When starter is energized, overrunning clutch assembly and drive pinion move outward, and drive pinion engages with the flywheel gear. When engine starts, overrunning clutch assembly protects armature from excessive speed until ignition switch is moved from START position. Return spring disengages drive pinion from flywheel gear.
