Starters - LUCAS: Description

The Lucas starter is a series wound 4-pole, 4-brush motor. Inertia type uses a remote solenoid and has wedge shaped brushes which contact the commutator end face. The armature shaft extends through the drive end plate and carries the inertia drive. Pre-engaged type uses either wedge shaped or conventional brushes and has a housing mounted solenoid. Solenoid shifts the roller type starter clutch and pinion to engage the flywheel ring gear when starter is energized.
