Abstract
A starter includes a pinion supported in a housing rotatably and engageably with a ring gear fitted to a crankshaft, and a starter motor fixed to the housing and having a rotary shaft for driving the pinion through a speed reduction mechanism. The starter is mounted on an engine block in such a manner that an axis center of the motor is located closer to the axis center of the ring gear than an axis center of the pinion. This starter mounting structure reduces the rotary vibrations of the starter motor.
