A pinion stopper arrangement for a starter motor comprises a motor output shaft having a circumferential projection and a coaxial pinion shaft rotatably supported on the output shaft. Two shafts are connected by an over-running clutch having a clutch outer member connected to the output shaft by helical splines and a clutch inner member directly connected to the pinion shaft. An elastic stopper ring is snap fitted between the clutch outer member and the circumferential projection on the output shaft, so that the elastic stopper ring, in cooperation with the circumferential projection on said output shaft, restricts the axial movement of the over-running clutch and the pinion gear relative to the output shaft. |
