.......... • To service the starter motor and starter clutch, the engine must be removed from the frame.
• For starter clutch inspection. see Section 9.
• Starter motor engagement is controlled by an electromagnetic relay which is energized by pushing the starter switch. This
closes a contact to provide battery voltage to the starter. A starter or "overrunning" clutch is used to prevent damage to
the starter armature due to "overspeed" when the engine starts. The starter remains engaged until the starter button is
released.
