Overview
|
Sky-Tec Flyweight™ Starters for Continental aircraft engines feature superior design features over old, heavy, stock OEM starters including: • Durable, reliable design • All-in-one bolt-off/bolt-on installation • Eliminates continuous duty clutch on smaller series engines •Positive disengagement eliminates wear while your engine is running •Significant torque increase/multiple gear reduction •Decreased current draw Safe for ALL TCM starter adapters! ST5 series starters offer the following features: • Powerful 2.2 kW high-torque, permanent magnet motor • Faster cranking RPM - typically 10-25% faster than heavyweight starters. • Light weight (9.1 lbs!); • Proven gear reduction drive train tempers current draw; • TCM starter adapter friendly electromechanically engaged/disengaged drive system provides instantaneous release of the starter adaptor wrap spring virtually eliminating starter-induced adapter wear. • Approved and recommended for ALL starter adaptors ("classic style", "improved style", "permold", "sand cast", etc.) • A simple, easy-to-install, bolt-off/bolt-on, maintenance-free starter that fits the entire "large" series Continental engines (with right-angle starter adapters) from O-300-D through TSIO-550 engines • Attractively designed and affordably produced making it the first and only choice in lightweight large Teledyne Continental engine starters. How is the ST5 starter different? The ST5 starter couples a high power 2.2 kW motor with an innovative solenoid-engaged (and disengaged) drive system completely disengages the powerful permanent magnet motor while the starter is unpowered eliminating possible TCM starter adapter wear while providing authoritative, high-torque starting. Positive solenoid enabled engagement and disengagement allows the TCM starter adapter to fully unwrap under all normal operating conditions thus greatly prolonging starter adapter life. How do I know which one to buy? If your TCM engine has a right-angle starter adapter at the rear of the engine and a clean source of nearly located battery voltage, chances are this starter is the right one for your application. Consult their extensive aircraft fit guide just to be sure. |

Starts a lot more aggressively than my old starter. I’m no longer sitting on the ramp hoping I’ll get one more blade past the windscreen to fire the engine.
