The Honda Prelude Starter Motor provides the instantaneous twist to awaken the engine, converting the electricity from the battery into the mechanical spin required for all drives. Sitting between the battery and the flywheel, this is a Starter Motor that makes use of a stout solenoid and heavy gauge cable to pull high current, magnetize field coils, and whirl up an internal armature. As the armature rotates, a small pinion gear on the Starter Motor slides forward and meshes with the ring gear and cranks the crankshaft until combustion takes over, then an overrunning clutch allows the engine to run free. Across generations of the Prelude, two main electric designs emerge, a direct drive unit and gear reduction style being more compact. The direct drive type is a one-to-one link between the armature and the pinion, which has robust but heavier working, and the gear reduction Starter Motor spins the armature with the reduction gears to make it spin faster and provide the same torque but with less weight and current draw; clearly, it's an upgrade for efficiency which soon became the norm for Honda enthusiasts. Safety circuitry is always constant, in which a relay and either a clutch or neutral switch prevents engagement if the Prelude is in gear. Regardless of transmission, turning the key to START energizes the Honda wiring, trips the solenoid, and gets the Honda spin maker going, the same Starter Motor that has helped every Prelude roar to life since the model's early days.
