Overnighted the starter solenoid and received it the next day by noon. Perfect fit also.

This was a plug-n-play replacing the defective 49 year old original in a Cessna A185F. Sky-Tec also offers a Batt-Master solenoid which I elected to replace same time for the sake of reliability. Arrives with thoughtful wiring diagrams in the box.

Overall Great Product. The Blueprint Sheet Doesnt Explain to Well If You Are Going From A Three Post Solenoid To A Four Post. If You Had A Three Post Make Sure You Put The Ignition Wire On The Small Post On The Opposite Side Of The Aircraft Power Lug. Another Plus About This Product, It Doesnt Matter Which Side You Use For Aircraft Power, & Can Even Be Mounted Upside Down.

This is used as a pilot solenoid in my Winco standby generator. My briggs and stratton solenoid pulled too many amps and would occasionally blow the ignition fuse. After wiring in this solenoid, it has worked reliably.
This was the highest quality, most reliable solenoid that I could find for the money, that fit my application.

Unit was advertised as a SKY-TEC Starter Solenoid but a preferred Lamar Solenoid was received with the same P/N and PMA documentation. Easy installation on a Mooney but when using the original mounting holes, the unit will be mounted horizontally instead of vertically. Lamar tech support verified that the unit can be installed in any orientation.

I believe this is a better quality starter than the one I had in my Beechcraft A35. The only issue I ran into is that the mounting holes had to be reamed because my firewall mounting is narrower than the smallest spacing on the Solenoid. I needed to gain about 1/3 inch in order to mount it. Also even though it is intuitive the instruction does not mention that the ground wire should mount to a mounting screw.

Shipping speed and pricing were pleasing.
NOTE: the installation instructions, while accurate, were a bit ambiguous and could use being updated. I sent the manufacturer a specific suggestion for editing the instructions to make them more clear. E.g., parts of the instructions probably havent been changed in a looooong time. Theyre perfectly adequate for A&Ps with a lot of experience but an A&P without prior experience (i.e., fresh eyes) in these units might not be able to follow the instructions.

FYI. A weak or defective battery can cause solenoid contacts to stick, be sure to confirm battery health when replacing a “defective” solenoid.

Direct replacement for Cessna starter solenoid. The original had on three connections, the ground connection was simply the case. This version did not pose any installation problems, the ground wire was included and simply connected to one of the mounting bolts.

This part did not fit the spacing of the bolts that mount it to the firewall of my C-205A even though this part is authorized for this aircraft. If your bolt spacing is 2 inches, it wont fit.
