DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A STARTER MECHANISE FOR APPLICATION IN A TWO-STROKE ENGINE

Abstract:

In accordance with the objective of the Federal government of Nigeria to support the develop ment of low-cost vehicles based on locally available technology, the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Ahmadu Bello University was given the task of developing the engine. The engine, for a start, is a 2-stroke, 2-cylinder petrol engine Part of the engine is an overrunning starter Mechanism which was designed, constructed and tested in this project. The overrunning starter Mechanism is in the form of a freewheeling clutch which transmits torque in only one direction and overruns in the other direction
