As Standard the
engine is fitted with a crank and decompression device
for hand starting. The
starting crank is located on a special bracket above the
flywheel. Cranking movement is
transferred to the crankshaft by chain and sprocket
wheels. The arrangement includes automatic
releases of the crankshaft sprocket as soon as the
engine starts.
Electric Starting
The engine can
also be fitted with electric starting equipment
consisting of starter motor, charging
generator with relay, instruments and starter battery.
The generator is mounted on the right-hand side of the
cylinder block, seen from the flywheel end, and is
V-belt driven from a pulley on the
crankshaft. The starter motor is under the generator.
The starter motor drive pinion is engaged
with the flywheel ring gear by a magnet on the
single-cylinder engine and by displacement of the
entire armature on the two-cylinder engine. The relay of
voltage regulation type is mounted on
the generator. Battery negative poles are earthed to the
engine. |
