Starter

To start an internal combustion engine, a small electric motor, a starter, is required. required to start the engine. so that the starter develops up to 300 rpm. But this happens only with the normal functioning of the starter and a normally charged battery.

The starter housing houses the drive, poles and collector. An anchor, a collector, and a brush holder are located in the body of the poles and the collector. The brush holder contains carbon brushes, which are slowly but constantly wearing parts. With a large wear of the brushes, the normal operation of the starter is not ensured.

The drive gear is located in the front of the housing. When voltage is applied to the starter through the ignition switch, the traction relay is activated and the toothed gear is displaced along the oblique thread along the shaft until it stops in engagement with the flywheel ring gear. This ensures that the engine can be rotated from the starter at a sufficient number of revolutions. When the internal combustion engine starts, the starter gear begins to rotate faster from the engine and disengages from the flywheel, breaking the mechanical connection between the starter and the engine.

Since a large starter current is required to start the engine, special attention should be paid to the wiring connections as part of the service. Corroded connections must be kept clean and lubricated with pole protector.
