If your aircraft has a
pull-type starter, installation will require some modifications:
Your pull starter mechanically engages the starter drive
while simultaneously supplying power to the starter motor.
The Sky-Tec C12ST2 engages electromechanically so you must do
two things:
 |
Order the "kit" (KCST2) which includes a
C12ST2/S starter, push button, wiring harness, STC's and
instructions. |
 |
Replace your pull-start "T-Handle" (or knob)
with the push-button switch and wiring harness in the kit. |
 |
Cut-off the shaft in the rear of your engine upon which your pull-starter's pinon
gear used to ride. This can be done by following the STC modification
instructions. |
If your aircraft has been previously converted from a
pull-starter:
Ah, this one's easy! Just order a C12ST2/S from your
favorite dealer, install and enjoy (we even include the gasket). The /S will be a
"short-nose" starter that will clear the previously
cut-off pinon gear shaft inside the rear of the engine.

Safe for ALL TCM starter
adapters!
ST3 series starters were
engineered with the following design features:
 |
TCM Starter Adapter
"friendly" |
 |
Incredibly low weight (only 6.5 lbs!); |
 | Mild 1.4 kW motor
coupled with aggressive gear
reduction for high torque, moderate cranking RPM
& low current draw; |
 |
A patent-pending, common-sense design
that eliminates the majority of "broken spring" scenarios that
occur so frequently on "improved style" TCM starter
adapters; |
 | Nearly instantaneous
release of the starter adapter wrap spring virtually
eliminating starter-induced adapter wear; |
 | Safe & approved 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; |
 |
Highest torque possible with minimal current draw
- perfect for aging Cessna singles with tail-mounted
batteries. |
 |
Attractively designed and affordably produced making it
the first and only choice in lightweight
large Teledyne Continental engine starters. |
|

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 (9.4 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

If your aircraft was manufactured with a push button (or
mag switch) starter:
Another easy one. Order a stock C12ST2 starter from
your favorite dealer, install and enjoy. We even include
the gasket! The C12ST2 starter has a
small dowel boss on the nose of the starter that will reside within
the needle bearing inside the rear of the engine. The only
purpose for that dowel is to keep your bearing needles from
falling out. There is no need to pull the bearing.
|
How is the ST3 different?
The ST3 starter
incorporates an innovative clutching system which enables
the starter to engage the TCM starter adaptor while
powered and completely disengage the powerful permanent
magnet motor while the starter is unpowered. This
positive disengagement allows the TCM starter adaptor to
fully unwrap under all normal operating conditions thus
greatly prolonging starter adaptor life.
|
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-RPM 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.
|
|
What if you're unsure which engine you have?
Take off the accessory case on the rear of your engine.
Look inside, toward the top most area of the cavity. If
you see a hole (actually, that's the inside of a needle
bearing), order the stock C12ST2. If you see a flush-cut
shaft, order a short-nose (C12ST2/S). If you see a shaft,
order the KCST2 conversion kit.
|
How do I know which one
to buy?
This one is pretty
easy! If your TCM engine has a right-angle starter
adaptor at the rear of the engine and a battery some
distance from the starter, chances are this
starter is the right one for your application.
Consult our extensive aircraft
fit guide just to be sure.
|
How do I know which one
to buy?
If your TCM engine has a right-angle starter
adaptor 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 our extensive aircraft
fit guide just to be sure.
