O200 Installation
If you have a TCM IO-240 or
new O200 with TCM P/N 657375, order P/N C12ST2/S
(identical equivalent of
TCM P/N 657375) or send the
657375 to Sky-Tec for rebuild.
KCST2 Pull Start Conversion Installation
If converting A65-12, A75-12, C85-12, C90, C145, O200 or O300 with TCM's
mechanical/electric pull-type starter to a Sky-Tec
starter, purchase part number KCST2,
a kit
that contains:
-
C12ST2/S Starter,
-
KCSW
push button starter switch assembly and placard,
-
STC SE10076SC
(engine mod to install C12ST2/S), and
-
STC
SA10077SC (airframe modification to replace
pull-start mechanism with push- to- start button).
Installation of the C12ST2/S
in the KCST2 kit is certified by
STC SE10076SC
(engine modification required to install C12ST2/S) and STC
SA10077SC (airframe modification required to install 71001 Push
Button Starter Switch Assembly and 70150 "Push To
Start" Placard).
Note to GO-300 owners
ONLY: Purchase KCST2/SR. That
kit is identical to the one above but includes a C12ST2/SR
REVERSE TURNING starter.
Note to former B&C Starter or
"gold" TCM starter owners:
If replacing TCM's
"gold" starter or a B&C Continental starter,
simply order replacement starter C12ST2/S.

Factory Key-Start Installation
If your aircraft was manufactured with
factory key-start O200 or O300, order a stock C12ST2 starter from
your favorite dealer, install and enjoy. We even include
the gasket!
The C12ST2 starter has a
small dowel boss on the nose of the starter that will insert
into the needle bearing inside the rear of the engine. The only
purpose for that dowel is to keep your bearing needles from
falling out.
The C12ST2 features a
"long nose" or more descriptively, a dowel-end
protrusion designed to align with, and upon installation,
insert into the needle bearing installed between the
case halves on the rear of TCM factory key-start O200 and
O300 engines.
Since it is not necessary
to pull the needle bearing from the insert between the
case halves, installation of C12ST2 is extremely
simple. The fixed dowel end protrusion does not
rotate but simply fills the void inside the needle bearing
to prevent the needles from falling out should the needle
keeper become compromised.
Electrical wiring of the
C12ST2 is identical to the factory starter: a single,
heavy-weight starter cable connects the output of the
aircraft's existing starter solenoid/contactor with the
power input terminal on the C12ST2.

Safe for ALL TCM starter
adapters!
ST3 series starters were
engineered with the following design features:
 |
TCM Starter Adapter
"friendly" |
|
Incredibly low weight (only 6.5 lbs!); |
| Mild 1.4 kW motor
coupled with aggressive gear
reduction for high torque, moderate cranking RPM
& low current draw; |
|
A patent-pending, common-sense design
that eliminates the majority of "broken spring" scenarios that
occur so frequently on "improved style" TCM starter
adapters; |
| Nearly instantaneous
release of the starter adapter wrap spring virtually
eliminating starter-induced adapter wear; |
| Safe & approved for ALL starter adaptors ("classic
style", "improved style", "permold",
"sand cast", etc.); |
|
A simple, easy-to-install, bolt-off/bolt-on,
maintenance-free starter that fits the entire
"large" series Continental engines (with
right-angle starter adapters) from O-300-D through
TSIO-550 engines; |
|
Highest torque possible with minimal current draw
- perfect for aging Cessna singles with tail-mounted
batteries. |
|
Attractively designed and affordably produced making it
the first and only choice in lightweight
large Teledyne Continental engine starters. |
|
Safe for ALL TCM starter
adapters!
ST5 series starters offer the
following features:
|
Powerful 2.2 kW high-torque, permanent
magnet motor |
|
Faster cranking RPM - typically 10-25%
faster than heavyweight starters. |
|
Light weight (9.4 lbs!); |
| Proven gear
reduction drive train tempers current draw; |
| TCM starter adapter
friendly electromechanically engaged/disengaged drive
system provides instantaneous
release of the starter adaptor wrap spring virtually
eliminating starter-induced adapter wear; |
| Approved and
recommended for ALL starter adaptors ("classic
style", "improved style", "permold",
"sand cast", etc.); |
|
A simple, easy-to-install, bolt-off/bolt-on,
maintenance-free starter that fits the entire
"large" series Continental engines (with
right-angle starter adapters) from O-300-D through
TSIO-550 engines; |

Attractively designed and affordably produced making it
the first and only choice in lightweight
large Teledyne Continental engine starters. |

How much weight can it save?
The heavyweight OEM starter
in our Ercoupe weighed 16+ lbs. The ST2/S weighs 9.2 lbs. for a total weight savings of more than 7 lbs.
|
How much weight can it save?
The heavyweight OEM starter
and continuously running sprag clutch typically weigh
about 16+ lbs. The ST2 weighs 9.2 lbs. for a total
weight savings of approximately more than 7 lbs.
|
How much weight can it save?
The heavyweight OEM
starters in most IO360 and O470's weigh more than 16+ lbs.
The ST3 weighs 6.5 lbs. for a total weight savings of
approximately more than 9 lbs.
|
How much weight can it save?
The heavyweight OEM
starters in most IO520 and TSIO550's weigh more than 16+
lbs. The ST5 weighs 9.4 lbs. for a total weight savings of
approximately nearly 7 lbs.
|
|
How is the ST2/S different?
The ST2/S starter
incorporates an innovative self-resetting kickback
protection clutch designed to momentarily slip should the
aircraft ignition unexpectedly fail to sufficiently retard
timing during start-up cranking. ST2/S starters
feature powerful 2.0kW motors coupled with a 19:1 total
gear reduction system giving the ST2/S very high torque
and very low current draw. Cranking RPM is
conservative but nearly always faster than older,
heavyweight OEM starters.
|
How is the ST2 different?
The ST2 starter eliminates
both the large, heavyweight OEM starter motor as
well as the continuously running sprag clutch gear
assembly. Unlike the continuously running clutch,
the ST2 only rotates when powered during start-up saving
wear and possible tear of your O200/O300 engine. The
ST2 features an innovative self-resetting kickback
protection clutch designed to momentarily slip should the
aircraft ignition unexpectedly fail to sufficiently retard
timing during start-up cranking.
|
How is the ST3 different?
The ST3 starter
incorporates an innovative clutching system which enables
the starter to engage the TCM starter adaptor while
powered and completely disengage the powerful permanent
magnet motor while the starter is unpowered. This
positive disengagement allows the TCM starter adaptor to
fully unwrap under all normal operating conditions thus
greatly prolonging starter adaptor life.
|
How is the ST5
starter different?
The ST5 starter couples a
high power 2.2 kW motor with an innovative
solenoid-engaged (and disengaged) drive system completely disengages the powerful permanent
magnet motor while the starter is unpowered eliminating
possible TCM starter adapter wear while providing authoritative,
high-RPM starting. Positive solenoid enabled
engagement and disengagement allows the TCM starter
adapter to
fully unwrap under all normal operating conditions thus
greatly prolonging starter adapter life.

|
How do I know which one
to buy?
If you a) fly behind an
IO-240 or b) currently pull a T-handle to engage &
power your small Continental starter, the C12ST2/S is the
starter to purchase. Consult our extensive aircraft
fit guide just to be sure.
|
How do I know which one
to buy?
If your small TCM engine
was configured by the factory with a needle bearing
between the two case halves intented to support TCM's
continuously running sprag clutch gear, the C12ST2 starter
should be the right one for your application.
Consult our extensive aircraft
fit guide just to be sure.
|
How do I know which one
to buy?
This one is pretty
easy! If your TCM engine has a right-angle starter
adaptor at the rear of the engine and a battery some
distance from the starter, chances are this
starter is the right one for your application.
Consult our extensive aircraft
fit guide just to be sure.
|
How do I know which one
to buy?
If your TCM engine has a right-angle starter
adaptor at the rear of the engine and a clean source of
nearly located battery voltage, chances are this
starter is the right one for your application.
Consult our extensive aircraft
fit guide just to be sure.
