Step 1 -
Out With Old
Gather Tools
(NOT these tools) |
OK - These tools are more like what you will need |
Remove old starter -
Weigh it (ours was 16 lbs) |
Here's what you'll see -
A shaft (your victim) |
|
Step 2 -
Prepare to Cut
Prepare the area
Clean out all oil around shaft |
Make a cardboard cutting shield using the enclosed
template |
Pack some clay -
Enclose all gaps |
Get ready to cut
with 1-1/4" fibrous Dremel bit |
|
Step 3 -
Cut The Shaft FLUSH
Problem: Our Dremel tool's neck interfered with the
shaft... |
...we couldn't get a square cut so we cut shaft
twice... |
...First cut only half of shaft
Then go back and get all of it |
This will make clearance
for neck of Dremel tool |
|
Step 4 -
Clean & Install
Your shaft should be cut FLUSH - that's within
1/16" of the case |
Flush area with long stream of clean fluid (we used
WD-40) |
Remove shield & clay
Wipe clean |
Mount new starter
Torque per instructions |
|
Step 5 -
Wire & Sign
Follow instructions in box (KCST2) to wire the new
starter |
You'll use these terminals
to wire power & new switch |
Send in your 337's
Have A&P sign logbooks |
Not nearly as fun as flying the thing when you're
done, though. |
STEP
3 :
Familiarize yourself with the STC # SE10076SC
and other paperwork.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation details are covered thoroughly by the installation
paperwork included with the KCST2 starter.
However, two notes that are easily overlooked:
1) CUT FLUSH - You need to cut the OE starter
pinion shaft off FLUSH. How flush? FLUSH.
Can you leave any of it hanging out? Hmmm...maybe up to
a sixteenth of an inch at MOST (0.0625"). Better
yet, cut it FLUSH without damaging or marking up the crankcase
halves.
2) BOLTS - You need to reuse the OE Continental
bolts to secure the top of the starter. Our STC was
predicated on a default scenario wherein the customer is
replacing an OE pull-type starter. If your engine did
not have an OE pull-type starter installed (you have been
hand-propping), you will need to find/buy/borrow or steal the
OE pull-type starter mounting bolts. They are odd
ducks. 5/16"-18 thread (coarse) and a freakishly
uncommon length with a drilled head. The Continental P/N
for these bolts is 538999 which our customers believe is an
MS20074-5-33 bolt. Our dealer, SkyGeek.com
carries the 538999 at a very reasonable
price.
