- Starter
-
- The starter
- converts the
- electrical energy
- stored in the
- battery to
- mechanical energy
- to turn the engine.
- It is in fact a
- large electric
- motor. It engages
- the crankshaft of
- the engine, and
- turns it. At the
- same time the
- battery supplies
- electric power to
- the distributor,
- and a charge is
- supplied to the
- spark plugs. Once
- the engine is
- firing, the driver
- releases the key of
- the car and the
- starter will
- disengage.
