Abstract
The system includes a direct-current voltage supply, an electric motor for rotating a movable pinion, and an electromagnetic operating device including a solenoid and an associated movable core. The core moves the pinion towards an operating position in which it can be coupled for rotation with a rotary member of the internal combustion engine. The connection between the electromagnetic operating device and the voltage supply is controlled by an electronic unit which measures the current flowing in the solenoid by means of a portion of the wire forming the solenoid, which portion is bent and preferably twisted, and acts as a resistive shunt.
