ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a starter mechanism for an engine having a starter gear, which starter mechanism includes a rotatable starter shaft, a starter pinion rotatably mounted on the starter shaft for axial movement, in response to rotation of the starter shaft in one direction, to an engine starting position in driving engagement with the engine starter gear, and a drive member mounted for rotation coaxially with the starter shaft and drivingly connected to the starter shaft. Manual starting of the engine is selectively effected by rotating a circular member or rotor drivingly connected to the drive member through a first one-way clutch which, in response to rotation of the rotor in the one direction, affords common rotary movement of the rotor and the drive member and permits free wheeling of the drive member relative to the rotor in the same direction when the rotor is not operated. Powered starting of the engine is selectively effected, independently of the manual starter, by a power unit including a driven gear mounted coaxially with the drive member and drivingly connected to the drive member through a second one-way clutch which, in response to operation of the power unit, affords common rotary movement of the drive gear and the drive member in the one direction and which permits free wheeling of the drive member relative to the driven gear in the same direction when the power unit is not operated.
