Starter Motor
The PG-260
starter motor achieves gear reduction at the rate of 5:1 through planetary gears. It's relatively small size and light weight offer improved cranking performance and reduced current requirements. Solenoid windings are energized when the
ignition switch is turned to the START position and the transmission is in the NEUTRAL or PARK. The plunger and shift lever movement causes the pinion to mesh with the engine flywheel ring gear, the solenoid main contacts to close, and the engine cranks. When the engine starts, the pinion overrunning clutch protects the armature from excessive speed until the
key is released, at which time the plunger return spring causes the pinion to disengage. To prevent excessive overrunning, the key should be released immediately when the engine starts.
