Internal combustion engines require external energy to start operation. A self starter or starter motor is used to rotate the crank and provide that energy. The self starter is mounted between the gearbox housing and flywheel. Car self starters consist of a Direct Current (DC) motor and solenoid to handle the excessive resistance created while starting the engine. In this guide, we will cover complete information about the car self starter, its types and its working.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Car Self-Starter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Self starter for cars was introduced to exclude the manual ways of starting an internal combustion engine common in the nineteenth century vehicles. Since their invention in the early 1900s, self starters have evolved a lot. Currently, there are three types of starter motors used in cars. Let’s take a quick look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An electric starter is commonly used in petrol and diesel engines<\/a>. These starters consist of either magnet or DC motor and a starter solenoid attached at the top of it. When you switch ignition on, DC power is supplied to a solenoid which meshes the pinion with the starter ring gear on the flywheel. Different variations of the electric and magnetic starter are used in recent times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
