How does a crank start engine work?
A spring starter uses potential energy stored in a spring wound up with a crank to start an engine without a battery or alternator. Turning the crank moves the pinion into mesh with the engine’s ring gear, then winds up the spring. The pinion automatically disengages from the flywheel after operation.
