Surestart SS1001 For Slick
This is the second Surestart I have had to replace in my Piper Comanche 260 in the past two years. It had only 300hrs on the box. Another downside, beside the price, is you have to buy the whole conversion kit instead of just buying the box. My complaint at Oshkosh 22 fell on deaf ears.

Pa 32 260 with o540. Starting about an hr or so after shutdown (not cold, not hot) were generally the worst. Rebuilt mags, changed plugs, would clean and gap plugs every 25hrs just to stay on top of it. Installed slick start, BOOM. Theres a you tube video out there showing how to test it by connecting the battery directly, it’s nuts how intense the spark is.
Amazing! This should be standard equipment on all Lycoming engines. Hot start or cold -- engine now fires right up EVERY TIME where as previously it would easily flood if it didnt fire on the first try or 50/50 at best on a cold morning.
Only got 611 hours on my first one !
