solenoids mounted on the starter have 2 functions 1a magnetic coil pulls a plunger which pushes the small (Bendix) gear into the engines flywheel gear at the same time it completes the power circuit that feeds the starter motor and that turns the Bendix gear when the key is released a spring returns the Bendix a it disengages from the fly wheel
