/ 9.8 / 9.9 / 15 / 18 / 25 / 30 / 40)
The starting system consists of the battery, main key switch,
neutral start switch, starter solenoid
(3) , starter motor (4) and
15 A engine fuse (5) . When the main key switch is in the START
position, and the start contacts of the neutral start switch are closed,
power is sent to the starter solenoid, energizing it. When the starter
solenoid is energized, a connection between the positive terminal of
the battery and the starter motor is provided. The connection
between the starter motor and ground completes the circuit. The
fuse opens if the coil circuit of the starter solenoid shorts or
overloads.
Charging System
The charging system consists of the alternator coil set
(1) , rectifier (2) , 10 or 15 A engine fuse, and the battery.
When the flywheel is turning approximately 1500 RPM or higher, the
alternator coil set provides alternating current (AC) voltage to the
rectifier/regulator. The rectifier transforms the AC voltage into direct
current (DC) voltage.
