Where is the starter fuse located?
At the back end of the engine is a large ring gear connected to the engine crankshaft. If there is a starter (some engines do not have starters) it will be mounted in the engine such that the bendix gear of the starter can engage the ring gear and spin the crankshaft. It's called a bendix because it jumps out to engage the ring gear (while the starter motor is running) and retracts off of the ring gear once the engine is running (starter motor no longer running). It is typically access from under the car. If you must replace it, let the engine cool off first. Otherwise the starter will be just as hot as the engine is.
What component does the starter motor drive to turn the engine?
battery,solenoil coil,cable wires,ignition switch
What does a shim do for a starter?
Shims bring the starter closer or further from the ring gear for proper alignment.
What would cause a starter to grind?
The starter is probably not aligned with the flywheel. The clearance between the starter and the ring gear needs to be checked.
What is the mechanism behind starting a car?
When you turn the key of your car,a signal is sent to the starter solenoid via cable.Now the starter solenoid draws power from battery and gives it to the starter motor which has a retractable gear attached to it. The motor starts and the gear messes with the flywheel to turn the crankshaft. The pistons attached to the crankshaft now draws air-fuel mixture (in case of petrol engine) and as soon as enough mixture is sucked, the battery operated spark-plug makes a spark and combustion starts. During the process the flywheel gets enough momentum to continue on its own, the gear retracts and the cycle goes on... This is the answer true to my best knowledge, hope it satisfies you. Summit.
