<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a starter assembly for micro air vehicles that requires a relatively low pull force and causes reduced movement and reduced induced inertia on an engine.SOLUTION: A manual starter 108 for an engine includes a main housing 202, an output shaft 212, a spring housing 206, a spring 210, two pawls 226, 228 and first and second attachment units 214. The output shaft is disposed at least partially inside the main housing, and is configured to supply a starting torque to the engine. The spring housing is disposed in the main housing. This spring is disposed in the spring housing, and is configured to receive an initial force from a starter cord 204 and to supply the starting torque to the output shaft. The attachment unit is configured to selectively couple the spring to the output shaft before the engine has started and decouple the spring from the output shaft after the engine has started.</p> |
