Starter motors and ignition systems

Starter motors and ignition systems are key components in starting and running an internal combustion engine. Here’s a quick breakdown of each:

🔧 Starter Motor

The starter motor is an electric motor that turns over (cranks) the engine to start the combustion process. It works with the battery and ignition system.

Key components:

Starter motor: Spins the engine's flywheel.

Solenoid: Acts as a switch to send power to the motor.

Battery: Supplies the electrical power.

How it works:

• Turn the key or push the start button.

• Solenoid engages and sends power from the battery to the motor.

• The motor turns the flywheel, which spins the crankshaft.

• Engine starts running on its own.
