I installed a Sky tec last year on my Glasair II. The I-O 360B1E had some
hotstart problems. With the lighter weight and higher starting speed I'm very pleased with it. Go with the sky tec. Steve wrote in message ... 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
