Solenoid Shift Electric Starters
The following subsection covers the solenoid shift
electric starters. Much of the information in the
proceeding subsection relates to this type starter also,
so it is not repeated here. A Nippondenso or Delco-
Remy solenoid shift starter may be used. The
Nippondenso starter is covered first, and the Delco-
Remy starter servicing follows.
Operation – Solenoid Shift Starter
When power is applied to the starter the electric
solenoid moves the drive pinion out onto the drive
shaft and into mesh with the flywheel ring gear. When
the pinion reaches the end of the drive shaft it rotates
the flywheel and cranks the engine.
When the engine starts and the start switch is released
the starter solenoid is deactivated, the drive lever
moves back, and the drive pinion moves out of mesh
with the ring gear into the retracted position.
