The invention relates to a novel starting generator. A motor permanent magnet pole is arranged at the inner wall of a motor rotor housing; a motor armature iron core is arranged in the motor rotor housing in a penetrating manner; armature windings are wound on the motor armature iron core; the motor rotor housing sleeves a generator crankshaft; the outer side of the motor armature iron core is connected with commutators; commutator segments of the commutators are hooked with starting windings of the armature windings through leads respectively; a power anode copper ring is arranged at the outer side of each commutator; a positive brush carrier and a negative brush carrier are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the motor rotor housing up and down; the positive brush carrier is insulated from the motor rotor housing; an upper positive power carbon brush and a lower positive power carbon brush, which are connected through a positive power connection lead, are arranged in the positive brush carrier; the inner sides of the upper positive power carbon brush and the lower positive power carbon brush abut on the corresponding commutator and power anode copper ring respectively; and a negative power carbon brush is arranged in the negative brush carrier and is connected with the motor rotor housing through a negative power connection lead. The novel starting generator integrates an electric starting function, an AC/DC power generation function and an ignition function.
