This new starter
for the Continental 0-200 or 0-240 engine solves all the problems
that other starters have had -- worn out clutches, cracked pinion
gears, hard to find parts. In addition, the BC320 is 4.3 to 5.2
lbs. lighter depending on whether you are replacing a key-type
starter or a pull-cable type starter. BC320 starter is STCd
for use in certificated aircraft and is available with, or without,
the STC. Also available are 2 installation kits; one for replacing
a key-type starter, the other for replacing a pull-cable type
starter.
If you are replacing a key-type starter,
you will need installation kit 501-1. Before installing the BC320,
a needle bearing will need to be removed from your engine. To
aid in removing this needle bearing, you may purchase Bearing
removal kit, 501-2, for $119.00. If you do not care to keep this
tool, you may return it and be refunded $80.00. If you are replacing
a pull-cable starter, you will need installation kit 501-3. Before
installing the BC320, you will need to cut off a steel shaft
that is installed in your engine case.
The new BC320 starter is a complete starter,
ready to install, that will replace the existing motor, clutch,
and pinion-gear. Tested by Continental with over 5000 start cycles
without a problem. Recommended by Rutan Aircraft Factory. Except
for paperwork, there are no differences between STCd starters
and starters for homebuilts. A starter must be ordered to match
your battery voltage. |
