A coaxial engine starter in which a solenoid switch is disposed behind an electric motor, a planetary speed reduction gear is disposed in front of the electric motor, and an ouptut rotary shaft is driven by the electric motor through the planetary speed reduction gear, a housing to which a bearing for receiving radial loads from the output rotary shaft is secured is integrally formed by a synthetic resin with an inner gear of the planetary speed reduction gear. A metallic flange for attaching the starter to an engine may be mounted to the housing by an electrically conductive securing member, and an electrical conductor for electrically connecting the flange to a motor yoke through the securing member may also be provided. |
