A starter drive for engagement with the engine ring gear of an internal combustion engine for starting the internal combustion engine. The starter drive has a housing with a cavity formed therein, an electromagnet fixedly connected with the housing adjacent the cavity, a motor driven shaft extending through the electromagnet into the cavity, a first case connected to the motor driven shaft by a helical spline, an armature movably interconnected with the first case and engageable with the electromagnet, a second case movably interconnected with the first case but rotatably driven thereby, at least one biasing element interposed the first and second case, and a pinion gear rotatably driven by the second case through a one-way clutch, the pinion gear being selectively engaged with the engine ring gear to start the internal combustion engine.
