If your aircraft has a pull-type starter, installation will require some modifications:
Your pull starter mechanically engages the starter drive while simultaneously supplying power to the starter motor. The Sky-Tec C12ST2 engages electromechanically so you must do two things:
Order the "kit" (KCST2) which includes a C12ST2/S starter, push button, wiring harness, STC's and instructions.
Replace your pull-start "T-Handle" (or knob) with the push-button switch and wiring harness in the kit.
Cut-off the shaft in the rear of your engine upon which your pull-starter's pinon gear used to ride. This can be done by following the STC modification instructions.
If your aircraft has been previously converted from a pull-starter:
Ah, this one's easy! Just order a C12ST2/S from your favorite dealer, install and enjoy (we even include the gasket). The /S will be a "short-nose" starter that will clear the previously cut-off pinon gear shaft inside the rear of the engine.
If your aircraft was manufactured with a push button (or mag switch) starter:
Another easy one. Order a stock C12ST2 starter from your favorite dealer, install and enjoy. We even include the gasket! The stock starter has a small dowel boss on the nose of the starter that will reside within the needle bearing inside the rear of the engine. The only purpose for that dowel is to keep your bearing needles from falling out. There is no need to pull the bearing.
What if you're unsure which engine you have?
Take off the accessory case on the rear of your engine. Look inside, toward the top most area of the cavity. If you see a hole (actually, that's the inside of a needle bearing), order the stock C12ST2. If you see a flush-cut shaft, order a short-nose (C12ST2/S). If you see a shaft, order the KCST2 conversion kit.
