Abstract

An energy storing starter assembly comprising a pulley, a hub and a buffering component. The buffering component provides a resilient connection between the pulley and the hub, and is designed to store and transmit energy between the pulley and the hub. The ends of the buffering component are further designed to be interchangeable, such that either end of the buffering component may be received by either the hub or the pulley.
