ABSTRACT:
A starter includes an electric motor, a pinion gear driven by the electric motor, and an intermediate gear driven by the pinion gear. The intermediate gear is coupled to the pinion gear by a coupler member in order to shift the intermediate gear toward a ring gear of an engine together with the pinion gear in a cranking operation. When the starter is not in operation, the intermediate gear is positioned at its rest position where a biasing force is applied to the intermediate gear to push it against the coupler member. Vibrant movement of the intermediate gear relative to the coupler member due to engine vibrations is prevented by the biasing force.
