What Are the Reasons for the Engine Not Turning Over?
1 Answers
Engine not turning over can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Faulty solenoid switch: Common issues with the solenoid switch include short circuits, open circuits, grounding faults in the pull-in and hold-in coils, as well as burnt contact discs and points. Whether the coils are open or grounded can be checked by measuring resistance with an ohmmeter. When the engine is operating, under the influence of the magnetic field, only the armature core rotates while the shaft does not, resulting in no torque being transmitted to the engine, causing the engine not to turn over. 2. Slipping one-way clutch: The main component of the transmission mechanism is the one-way clutch, which transmits torque in one direction only—specifically, from the starter to the engine flywheel. This prevents the flywheel from driving the starter motor at excessive speeds and causing damage after the engine starts.
