Starter
The starter rotates the crankshaft to start a stopped engine and
generate the initial combustion.
This action is called "cranking" and can be performed
either manually or electrically (motorized).
Types of manual starters include pull-start starters in which a
rope wound around a reel on the flywheel side of the engine is
pulled, as well as lever starters in which a detachable lever is
attached to the engine and turned.
Because electrical starters perform starting using a
battery-powered DC motor, this motor is referred to as a
"starting motor."
Many starters are equipped with preheating devices to facilitate
starting.
