Sky-Tec Starter 149-24Ls
First off, Hartzell who makes the Sky-Tec starter is a phenomenal company with outstanding, over the top customer service. That said, the 122-12LS starter model does not appear to be a good choice for a Velocity canard/pusher aircraft. We have had the same problem with two new 122-12LS starters we had. The smaller format and armature of the 122-12LS appears to not tolerate heat very well. The engine on a Velocity and other rear propeller aircraft (e.g., Long-EZ) run much warmer than front prop installations such as an RV. The increased radiant heat appears to affect this particular starter negatively resulting in it not being able to start the engine after flight. The 122-12LS may work fine on a front propeller aircraft but it appears to not do well on a pusher aircraft with its higher temperatures. In the end. Hartzell replaced our starter with a 122-NL which is working perfectly. Great company...Im a customer for life.
I have used standard Cherokee starters for over 30 years, and am thus adept at hand propping. I have replaced wiring, solenoids, starters and batteries, and starting was never much more than anemic. The Sky-Tec starter is so much better that attempt at comparison is pointless. When I consider how much time and money I spent on trying to get reliable starting over the years, the Sky-Tec starter is a bargain.

Sky-Tec Starter 149-24Ls
The 149-12LS starter fits a Mooney M20F Executive with a fuel injected Lycoming IO360A1A engine. The fit guide lists a starter that is too long and will not fit. I called sky tech and found out. Check the installation drawing and measure before you buy.

Yes, these are now subject to core exchange.
125-220A @ 11V.
This is covered by STC SE00218NY. The STC covers the engine, not the airframe. The paperwork is not in the box but it can be downloaded from Sky-Tec website.
The power terminal is M6 X 1.0MM and the two S terminals are M8 X 1.25MM.
They are essentially the same starter but the XLT is lighter. 7.8 lbs vs 6.5 lbs.
