Plasma III Ignitions have been modified to run down to 6.5V during start
from the previous 8.5V.
If you have a plasma Ign go to their website and see which serial number
have the mod. You can
also send your module back and get it changed to accept as low as 6.5V
during start up for $100.
Changing starters is not always possible as I found out. I originally
wanted to use the B&C and do believe
they are better than Skytek. But I also have Precision Airmotive fuel
injection which would interfere with
the mixture control on the FI. In addition my engine is horizontal
induction and the fiberglass ducting from
Van's needs a ton of modifications to clear the B&C. Its built to go around
the Skytek 12LS.

Subject: Engine Kick-Back IO-360
All, yesterday as I attempted to start up the IO-360 in my RV-8A, the
engine "kicked back" and broke something in the starter, which is a
Sky Tec Flyweight 149-12LS.
When I say "broke something" I mean it actually broke off the cast
metal nose of the starter, exposing the pinion gear.
Any thoughts on what could cause the kick-backs? This is the second
time I've had a problem with this starter - sent it back for repairs about
200 hours ago - it was almost new then, and the factory covered the
repair cost.
