The starter consists of a drive housing, a pole housing and a collector housing. An armature and a collector, as well as a brush holder are located in the body of the poles and the collector. The brush holder contains carbon brushes, which wear out slowly but constantly. If the brushes are too worn, the starter will not be able to work properly.
The drive gear is located in the front drive housing. When the starter receives voltage from the ignition switch, then with the help of an electromagnetic traction relay, which is located on the starter housing, the drive gear moves in the groove and engages with the ring gear of the engine flywheel. When the gear reaches the stop along the axis, it is securely connected to the flywheel. Now the starter can spin the engine up to the required speed. When the engine starts, the starter gear is spun by the engine, and for a short time it rotates faster than the starter and disengages from the flywheel, i.e. the connection between engine and starter is interrupted.
Since a large current is required for starting, it is necessary to check the reliability of the wire connections as part of the maintenance. Corroded joints must be cleaned and lubricated with protective grease.
Attention: In the event of a starter failure, you can purchase a remanufactured starter that performs as reliably as a new one.
