Yes. >Can you explain why run-on is a problem if it only lasts a couple seconds? The design goal for engagement solenoids with integral contactors is to effect immediate retraction of the pinion gear when the starter button is released. There ARE over-run clutches in the starter gearing that prevents the engine from back-driving the starter. These are VERY important . . . For a small starter to be efficient C the armature is highly geared down to crank the engine at 150 to 300 rpm. when the engine starts C it's suddenly running at 4x that speed. Were it not for over-run clutches C this would immediately spin the armature up to 4x it's operating speed and probably throw windings C commutator bars C or strip gear teeth. The run-on phenomenon simply exercises the over-run mechanism and increases pinion wear for reasons that do not add value . . . and would not happen except for an unintended consequence of using the solenoid/ contactor in a manner contrary to original design goals. Bob . . . Thanks Bob. I think I finally get it. | Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SP target='_new'>Sign up now. [quote][b]
