Description: |
| Abstract:
An internal-combustion engine starting mechanism comprises a movable rack 3 which is mounted to engage a pinion 7 on the crankshaft of the engine so as to be freely rotatable in one direction only and resilient means such as a spring 10 which is secured to the rack and effective to exert on the rack an auxiliary pull to that exerted by the operator in starting the engine. The pinion 7 has a pawl-and-ratchet mechanism. The rack slides in brackets 5 and 8 mounted on the crankcase, and the spring is mounted in lugs 9, 11 which are secured to the bracket 8 and the rack respectively. |
