An engine starter apparatus comprising first and second noncircular gears, a pinion, and a starter motor. The pair of noncircular gears is interposed between a crankshaft and a ring gear of an engine, and when the speed of rotation of the first noncircular gear is kept constant, the second noncircular gear rotates the crankshaft while cyclically causing a change in the angular velocity due to its profile. Since the second noncircular gear is positioned so that the change in the angular velocity caused by its rotation can cancel a change in torque of the crankshaft, the change in the torque of the engine are not transmitted to the starter motor, thereby operating the starter motor at constant current at all times, providing such additional advantages as smaller and lighter starter motor design and reduced noise.
