ABSTRACT:
A starter unit for an internal combustion engine, especially a motor vehicle engine, comprises an electric motor and an electromagnetic actuator, having parallel axes and being secured on a starter frame or chassis which has at least one starter nose. The starter nose defines a hood which envelops the end of the output member of the electromagnetic actuator and the free end of the shaft of the motor. The motor shaft carries a Bendix gear or pinion. The unit also includes an actuating lever for controlling axial displacements of the Bendix gear. The actuating lever pivots about an axis which is substantially at right angles to the axes of the motor and actuator. The actuating lever has a pivot shaft comprising two ends and mounted pivotally in a two-part bearing which comprises a first bearing part connected to the starter nose, together with a complementary second bearing part which is formed, in facing relationship with the first bearing part, in a component which is connected to the casing of the motor and/or to the casing of the electromagnetic actuator.
