harshansenadhir,

Starter motor engages only at the starting point of the engine it is never full time drive with the engine.

There was 1930 model Morris Cowley which had full time operating Dynamo motor one unit which works on a chain drive. when battery current is inter connected to that unit the engine starts when engine starts up battery get charged with that unit acts as a Dynamo.

I remember in 1970s we had some small motor cycle and a three wheeler Italian build with the above said Dynamo and starter motor in one unit single Cylinder engine.

oh, thank you so much for this valuable information. I thought the starter motor engages with the ply wheel all the time and that's why agreed with M_D's comment that it affects fuel consumption due to additional friction it creates by the solenoid, armature, ring gear and starter motor housing. Further that if this motor can be removed and kept somewhere in the garage where you can use only at the initial starting which is hectic and then stop the vehicle in a slanted parking lot and use push start or the handle like good old days

on a serious note, starter motor being used as the alternator is still around. City cars like Citroen C2 with stop and start technology uses this.
