Find the recommended starter for your
aircraft
The new XLT line is simply an unprecedented
starter: Only 6.5 lbs and thoroughly capable of cranking
any 4-cylinder Lycoming engine. Available in 12V, 24V,
122-tooth and 149-tooth compatible models - FAA PMA Certified -
and available NOW!
Our classic High-Torque Inline starter is
the recommended starter for just about any flat, non-geared
Lycoming piston engine application. Order the new
SuperDuty NL/ec version for 24 volt aircraft or the #1 selling
NL for 12 volt aircraft. Especially easy to fit for short-wing
Pipers, retractable Cessnas, helicopters, rugged operations
and harsh environments or applications with minimal clearance in
front of and around the starter. /ec starters have
been independently tested to repeatedly demonstrate over seven
minutes of combined cranking in a nine minute period! Shear pin
protected against kickback.
The time-tested HT Models continue to be a top
seller in applications such as helicopter fleet ops needing additional ruggedness,
performance and reliability. It has also been improved
with both the /ec SuperDuty motor system as well as tougher,
beefier mount castings for maximum performance in the toughest
applications. The noseless design makes it a
good fit for many tight cowling applications and its performance
makes it the original starter of choice for large engine
applications (Lycoming 720 series-powered aircraft). The
HT's performance characteristics are nearly identical to those
of the High-Torque Inline listed in the chart above.
The LS/PM models are the flagship of the
Sky-Tec product family. They are identical to each other
in composition and performance, however LS models have the solenoid
located toward the left side of the aircraft and the PM models
have the solenoid located toward the right side of the aircraft.
Select the right model for your aircraft based on the location
of accessories around your starter using the fit
guide. When unsure, purchase the High-Torque Inline
starter - it WILL fit!
Our Lycoming LS,
PM & HT starters also feature an integrated starter solenoid for
homebuilt applications not wishing to install a separate
firewall solenoid. Click
