Starting System - Starting System
Description and Operation
Manufacturer - NipponDenso
Type - RA1.4.
Weight - 3.75 kg (8.27 lb)
Output - 1.4 kW
Rated Time - 30 seconds
Rotation - Clockwise, viewed from pinion end
The starter is of the pre-engaged type; loca ted at the rear left-side of the engine.
When the starter is operated from the key-switch, the engagement lever moves the pinion into mesh with the engine ring
gear teeth, the electrical contacts within the solenoid complete the high power circuit and the starter motor operates to turn
the engine.
Starter Relay
The starter motor control relay is, relay nu mber 5, located inside the engine compartment enclosure (left side of vehicle
RHD and right side of vehicle on LHD).

Th
e starter drive plate is attached to the rear of the crankshaft by eight bolts.
Timing Disc
A timing disc, for the engine speed sensor, is spot-w elded to the front face of the starter drive plate.
