Starter Specifications

The permanent‑magnet gear‑reduction starter motor features small permanent magnets mounted inside its field frame. These
magnets take the place of current‑carrying field coils mounted on iron pole pieces. A 4:1 ratio internal gear reduction results in
armature speeds in the 7000 RPM range. The armature and driveshaft are mounted on roller or ball bearings in the place of
bushings. The solenoid switch, plunger, return spring, and shift lever are permanently mounted in the drive housing.
