The function of main starting valve for marine engine is to supply cylinder with the air to start marine engine. But, if the spindle, one of the main starting valve components, doesn't rotate accurately at the designated air pressure, the marine engine may have some trouble in starting. So, to resolve the problem due to spindle rotation in the main starting valve, the blocking device (blocking plate, limit switch, etc.) is installed in the upper part of spindle to constrain the rotation. So, in this paper we introduced the rotation constraining ability of blocking plate prevent the spindle from mis-working in the main starting value of the marine engine.
