DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
STARTING MOTOR
J1232-A
FIG.
1-Starter Mounting
The function of the starting system
is to crank the engine at a high
enough speed to permit it to start.
The system includesthe starter motor
and drive, the battery, a remote con-
trol starter switch, and heavy circuit
wiring.
The starter mounting is shown in
Fig. 1. Figure 2 shows the starter
circuit schematic.
The starter utilizes an integral
positive-engagement drive (Fig. 3).
When the starter is not in use, one
of the field coils is connected di-
rectly to ground through a set of
contacts (Fig. 2). When the starter
is first connected to the battery a
large current flows through the
grounded field coil, actuating a mov-
able pole shoe. The pole shoe is
attached to the starter drive actuat-
ing lever and thus the drive is forced
into engagement with the flywheel.
When the movable pole shoe is
fully seated, it opens the field coil
grounding contacts and the starter is
then in normal operation. A holding
coil is used to maintain the movable
pole shoe in the fully seated position,
during the time that the starter is
turning the engine.
A starter neutral switch, in the
starter control circuit, prevents oper-
ation of the starter if the selector
lever is not in the N (neutral) or P
(park) position.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect the starter cable at
the starter terminal, remove the
starter mounting bolts, then remove

2. Position the starter assembly to
the flywheel housing, and start the

bracket is mounted under the starter
upper mounting bolt (Fig.
1).
