The starter is working well, and spins the engine faster than the old Lamar starter did. I worry a bit because it comes with two shear pins in case of kickbacks. I can imagine trying to get at and replace a shear pin at some remote place.

Light weight and much faster than the original starter. So far, this starter is everything they claim.

The starter fit our Cessna 172 and it turns the engine over faster than the old starter

I ordered my starter to replace an identical unit that failed to function, stranding me at a distant airport until I found a mechanic willing to give me a hand prop. The old part had been in service for 8 years and 1635 tach hours. It is unclear to me why the part failed. I suspect that another pilot who flew my plane made repeated starting attempts and burnt it out. Be sure to put the sticker onto your panel that warns pilot to only crank for 20 seconds or something like that.

Candidly, I was somewhat skeptical of the added benefit/advantage this high-torque starter versus a standard (OEM if you will) starter for half the cost. However, I AM BLOWN AWAY! Starting rpms are double what they used to be, and hot starts, cold starts, warm starts, no prime starts...doesnt matter, it fires up my Lycoming O-540 within a single second. It has surpassed all my expectations and has provided a new feeling of comfort and confidence with restarting after landing at airports after-hours. With the old starter, the hot restart was always a big concern in my mind, especially at smaller airports or after-hours with no GPU available. Well that concern is gone thanks to this new starter. It spins the prop as if plugged into a GPU. HAPPY CUSTOMER! THANK YOU!

This starter worked great turning over an IO-720 engine. The older starter always had to be rocked to get it turning. Not this one. Good buy!
