ABSTRACT:
A starting apparatus for starting an engine has a drive motor and a reduction gear. The reduction gear includes a shock absorbing member and restricting members. The shock absorbing member is provided to elastically receive a reaction force exerted to an internal gear. The restricting members are provided to restrict a compressed amount of the shock absorbing member by making contact with each other. When bringing into contact with each other, the restricting members make contact at the outside diameter portions thereof. Accordingly, unpleasant noise generated during the operation of the starting apparatus is reduced by the shock absorbing member. Further, the damage to respective parts is reduced.
