The starter is on the right side of the engine (shown here in a four-cylinder engine)
- 1 - terminal 50 wire (from the ignition switch);
- 2 - terminal 30 wire (from battery);
- 3 - wire from the electromagnetic switch to the starter;
- 4 - starter.
When the ignition key is turned to position «Start» voltage is supplied to terminal 50 of the electromagnetic switch located at the top of the starter.
As a result of this, the starter lever shifts the starter gear along a steep thread into the ring gear of the engine flywheel.
When the gear is engaged, the electromagnetic switch turns on the full battery current from terminal 30, and only after the gear enters the grooves, the starter rotates the engine powerfully.
The starter motor and gear are connected by a reduction gear. Therefore, the electric motor rotates much faster than the gear. Due to this, the starter has a higher kinetic energy.
If the engine is started, the gear will disengage from the flywheel crown.
