STARTER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The electric starting system consists of the starter motor, starter and choke switch, start in neutral switch, and the necessary cables and wires with their connectorsThe starter motor supplies cranking power to the motor, converting electrical energy from the battery into mechanical power which is transmitted through the drive pinion gear and the flywheel ring gearThe starter switch controls the operation by activating the starter solenoid which makes and breaks the circuit between the battery and starter motorThe starter solenoid closes the Circuit through movable contact disc which strikes two terminal contacts that are connected to the starter motor circuitThe solenoid winding contains many turns of wire which, when energized by the starter switch, exert magnetic pull on the solenoid plunger, causing it to move the contact disc against the terminal contactsSee Figure 7-3
