As I understand things, this is the order of occurences in starter operation:

1) Depressing the foot pedal causes a lever to shift the pinion into mesh with the flywheel teeth.

2) Further pedal movement brings an offset portion of the lever into contact with the button on the starter switch.

Now, if the switch makes contact before the meshing of the pinion into the flywheel, would that most likely be due to the over running clutch not operating properly?

Thanks.
