When the ignition is switched on and the starter is closed, current flows through the solenoid (producing a magnetic field) and the plunger is drawn in.
The drive (pinion) meshes with the flywheel gear. The holding winding holds the drive (pinion) in position and the armature turns the engine. The
current now flows through the twin connected field coils to the positive carbon brushes and through the armature. The current is grounded via the
negative brushes. When the ignition switch is released the current to the holding winding is cut off and a return spring withdraws the drive (pinion).
