  Q: What type of starter motor is described, and how does its engagement mechanism work on Volvo 244?

  A:

  The starter motor is of the pre-engaged type, where the pinion is mechanically engaged with the flywheel ring gear before the motor is activated, featuring a roller clutch drive in the pinion assembly that allows the pinion to free-wheel when the engine starts. Mechanical engagement is facilitated by a solenoid that operates the starter motor switch after pushing the pinion into position. When properly lubricated before assembly, the self-lubricating bearings of the starter motor can last as long as the engine.
