In this device, a solenoid is provided as a motor draw which receives the battery energy, and it has an armature and field coils in a starter case with the feature of rotating around. This case, several types of starters include gear reduction starters that forms the drive gear with the engine flywheel. Through the start control circuit comprising of the ignition switch, the starter relay and switch safety the solenoid is pulled thus engaging the small gear of the starter motor with the flywheel of the engine.
