Starter bolted right in, no adjustments necessary, worked the first time. Showed up at my door very quickly after I ordered it. The core return information was included and made the core return very easy.

I placed a review statement earlier today (28 Dec 21). I wanted to update my review. Crow is better eaten hot. I found the Gasket between the FAA Form 8130-3 folds in the zip-lock bag attached to the starter. I missed when I opened the box at the Aircraft Spruce desk yesterday. So, REALLY THERE IS A GASKET. You just have to look for it. I apologies for my false statement earlier. I would however like to know what caused the Sky-Tec Starter to fail.

3 stars only because I haven’t tried it yet. Installed on an experimental O-200 still on the engine stand. I’m assuming it will be great.

Q: Is a separate solenoid required with the Sky-Tec Key-start C12ST2?

Per Sky-Tec: You should utilize a starter solenoid in conjunction with the starter. We offer a variety of starter solenoids. Please make sure you match the starter solenoid voltage with the voltage of your starter/aircraft and to choose which assembly will best suite your application.

Q: According to other sources a gasket is included. Please confirm that a gasket is included.

The gasket is included in the box.

Q: What is the amps the SKY-TEC STARTER KEY-START C12ST2 starter pulls?

95A avg @ 11V / 100 RPM Test.

Q: Is a solenoid required with the C12ST2?

Yes this would require a starter solenoid.

Q: What is the distance between the face of the mount and the end of the starter? ( I need to calculate firewall clearance on a homebuilt). Does the listed price include a core charge ? (page 382 in current catalogue) What is the difference between the C12ST2 and the C12ST2/S?

Per the manufacturer: "The C12ST2 is for the later model key start aircraft. The C12ST2/S is for the pull type starter installations. If replacing a pull type, the initial kit to use is the KCST2 per the STC." Both the product price and the core charge are displayed separately on the web page.

Q: What is the distance between the starter mount base and the end of the starter?

We added the install diagram and dimensional drawing to the Documents section of the web page. These are the available dims that we have. Please download and review them there.

Q: Can we give MZ 4214 as core, is it acceptable for this part?

Yes, this can be returned as a core. Please be aware the C12ST2 is for continental engines only.
