MFR Model# KCST2
Overview
| STC Certified conversion kit featuring C12ST2/S starter for A65-12, A75-12, C85-12, C90, C145, O200 or O300 engines previously fitted with TCM's pull-type starter. Complete conversion kit includes C12ST2/S starter, push-button switch, push-to-start placard, wiring harness, two STC's (one for airframe modification, one for engine modification) and instructions. Sky-Tec starter is about 5 lbs. lighter than stock OE starter and provides increased cranking torque. 2-year factory warranty. |
Features
- Ditch your pull-cable and lifeless antique starter. If it has not died already, it's just a matter of time. And aren't you tired of adjusting that pull cable so that the starter energizes only at the very end of the pulling motion? Sky-Tec ST2 starters are proven, durable and provide much quicker rotation for easier, effortless starts. ST2 starters feature no-maintenance, self-resetting kickback protection.
Specifications
- Two-year factory warranty.
- FAA/STC'd.

Q&A
Please refer to the Skytec fit guide on their web site as a guide. The KCST2 is used for some 0-300 engines with a pull start. http://www.skytecair.com/Fit_Guide.htm .
Yes, we have added the installation guide to the 'Documents' tab of this web page. Please review it there. We have also added two additional drawings that will help the installation.
No, this kit does not come with a solenoid. You will need to purchase this separately.
The Q&A in in reference to the aircraft starter solenoid, which is not commonly installed in aircraft starters. The aircraft starter solenoid can last much longer than a starter, so is not commonly replaced when a starter is replaced. These solenoids can sometimes be considered an airframe part, so it may cause more confusion to list all of them as accessories, but we will look into this and add accordingly.
The STS-S12 or STS-S24 are commonly used.
Yes, there is now a core exchange charge tied to the purchase of this SkyTec starter conversion kit. We collect the charge at time of purchase, and when an acceptable core is returned ( in this case it is the starter coming off the aircraft), we will refund the core fee.
Yes, must be cut and removed.
No the gasket is not included.
