starter can be roughly divided into the following sections:
• A motor section which generates a drive power.
• An overrunning clutch section which transmits an arma-
ture torque, preventing motor overrun after starting.
• A switch section (solenoid) which is operated when actuating the overrunning clutch through a lever and which
supplies load current to the motor.
The starter is a new type, small, light-weight and is called a
high-speed internal-reduction starter. The pinion shaft is separate from the motor shaft; the pinion slides only
ion shaft. A reduction gear is installed between the motor
shaft and a pinion shaft. The pinion sliding part is not
exposed outside the starter so that the pinion may slide
smoothly without becoming fouled with dust and grease. The
motor shaft is supported at both ends on ball bearings. The
lever mechanism, switch and overrunning clutch inner circuit
are identical to conventional ones.

any abnormality is found by the following tests, the starter
should be disassembled and repaired.
