Abstract
An engine starting aid consisting basically of a housing, a coil assembly and a bail assembly for holding a can to be dispensed to the housing, wherein the housing is formed integrally with an armature guide projecting through the coil assembly. The coil has bobbin flanges that are formed integrally with the armature guide and thus with the housing itself. The coil assembly includes a flux plate defining a portion of the flux path of the coil that serves an additional function of providing projecting flanges that define brackets for mounting the engine starting aid where desired. Also provided is a bail assembly that not only holds the can to be dispensed in position in the housing but also serves the additional function when positioned adjacent the housing of protecting the elements therein while in transit.
