Starter selection -- seeking input
We are about to order a factory rebuilt Lycoming IO-360-C1C6 engine for our
Arrow IV. The engine comes with a new starter, and we can choose either the "conventional" Prestolite MZ-4222 or the "light weight" Sky-Tech 149-12PM. Price is the same either way. We have never used anything but he conventional Prestolite and have no experience with Sky-Techs. Our mechanic says that he has seen fewer problems with the Prestolite, but that is based mainly on experience with rental fleet airplanes that get a lot more starter abuse than ours. My personal experience is that most starter problems relate to the Bendix gear, which is apparently eliminated in the Sky-Tech design. I would welcome informed opinions on which way to go. -- -Elliott Drucker |
