Fig. 86. Bijur Starter Mechanism Showing Action
[Fig. 87] shows all the parts in their positions for cranking. The small gap between the collar on the shifting rod and clevis pin permits the switch rod to move and thus open the starting switch without moving the motor pinion when the starting pedal is released.
POSITION 2A—ABOUT TO CRANK.
GEARS NOT YET MESHED, TEETH
ARE BUTTING, BUT SWITCH HAS
MADE CONTACT. SHIFTER SPRING
STRONGLY COMPRESSED READY
TO DRAW PINION INTO MESH.
POSITION 3—CRANKING, NOTE
GAP BETWEEN COLLAR ON
SHIFTING ROD AND CLEVIS PIN.
SHIFTING FORK IS UP AGAINST
STOP AND SHIFTER SPRING IS
SLIGHTLY COMPRESSED.
Fig. 87. Bijur Starter Mechanism Showing Action
[Fig. 87A] shows the condition when on depressing the foot pedal, and sliding the pinion on the motor shaft towards the flywheel the pinion does not mesh with the flywheel, and the teeth butt. Depressing the foot pedal will close the starting switch strongly compressing the shifter spring. After the switch is closed the motor will begin to rotate and allow the pinion to slip into mesh with the flywheel. The motor will then crank in the normal way.
