STARTER MOTOR
FOR CARS, 4WD & TRUCKS
What is the Starter motor?
It is an electric motor for rotating the internal combustion engine until it starts. The following parts of the starter are normally: Housing, Overrunning clutch (Bendix drive in older starters), Armature, Coils, Brushes, Solenoid. Of course, it might vary as a starter motor has types like hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.
Essentially, the starter motor provides ‘the crank’ to start your vehicles motor. It relies on your battery to provide the power to do this. So, if your battery is flat, your starter cannot start your motor. However, if you require a starter motor repair you will often hear a ‘tick sound’ as it attempts to perform its function, letting you know the starter motor is damaged.
