the pinion does not mesh properly on first contact with
the flywheel teeth.
(b) Breakage or nonfunctioning of the
pinion latch will cause the pinion to drift toward the
flywheel teeth, which is likely to cause damage if the
engine is running.
(c) All of the starter torque is transmitted
through the drive spring, which puts it under considerable
strain.
