Starter Solenoid: Description and Operation

The starter solenoid:

-

Is an electromagnet.

-

Engages the starter drive to the flywheel.

-

When energized, the contacts close, connecting the battery to the starter motor.  This causes the starter motor to turn the starter drive.

-

Is kept in the energized condition by a hold-in winding until the starter switch is released.
