PURPOSE:To prevent the early-stage wear of a bush provided on a housing and obtain a light-weight starter by removably supporting the outer periphery of a clutch outer on said housing via a housing bush. CONSTITUTION:The outer periphery of a clutch outer 1 is removably supported by a housing bush 2 which is press-fittedly fixed to a housing 3. Accordingly, when an engine is started and even if a pinion 5 is overly rotated at a high speed by a ring gear 9, the rotation is not transmitted to the clutch outer 1 due to the inner 4 and the roller 6 of an overrunning clutch. Thereby, the rotation of the clutch outer 1 is a low speed rotation at about the same speed as the non-load rotation of a motor, without causing wear due to a high speed rotation. Also, by removably supporting a clutch outer 1, the dimension from a housing installing surface can be reduced, enabling a device to be lightened by that amount.
