STARTER
MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The
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
not

sep-

high-speed internal-reduction starter. The pinion shaft is
arate from the motor shaft; the pinion slides only on the pinion shaft. A reduction gear is installed between the motor
shaft and a pinion shaft. The pinion sliding part
exposed outside the starter so that the pinion may slide
smoothly without becoming fouled with dust and grease. The

any abnormality is found by the following tests, the starter

ELECTRIC
The power required to start an electric motor is considerably
more than is required to keep it running after it is started.
Some motors require much more current to start them than
others. Split-phase (AC) motors require more current to start,
under similar circumstances, than other types. They are commonly used
machines,

7 times as much current to start as to run, their use should be
avoided, whenever possible,

motors require from 2 to 4 times as much current to start as
to run. The current required to start any motor varies with the
load connected to it.

to produce AC output. The copper and laminated iron in the
exciter stator are responsible for the self-exciting feature

LAY-UP & RECOMMISSIONING
GENERAL
Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft,
including engines and generators, for lay-up during the
off-season
to accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.
The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your
own lay-up and recommissioning,
check list
These procedures should afford your engine protection
during a lay-up and also help familiarize you with the
maintenance needs
If
you have any questions regarding lay-up procedures, call
your local servicing dealer; he will be more than willing to
provide assistance.
