Starter motors
General description
The Magneti Marelli M127 starter motor is operated by a solenoid and has a five roller clutch. The solenoid
engages the starter drive in two operations to ensure that the motor gets its maximum torque only when the
starter motor is engaged fully with the flywheel. The clutch prevents rotation of the armature at high speed if
the starter is held in the engaged position.
