List,
I have a Kitfox 5 with an early 912ULS engine which does not have the
heavy duty starter.
Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the heavy duty starter.
I have only about 1/2 in. clearance between the back of my present
starter and one of the
engine mount tubes.

The only thing that the heavy duty starter does is turn the engine faster.
If you have a good starting procedure its a waste of money. Clint Half

Allan,
I had to modify (Actually Skystar did it for me!) my motor mount in order to
use the heavy duty starter. I suspect that you will need the modification.
In the absence of other problems, I think you should consider Clint's
advice.

Clint, Randy and all,
Thanks for your reply. I have been using Clint's starting procedure
with success for some time but slowly
over some months it has been getting harder and harder to start.
When cranking with ignition switches on, it seems to fire once and
then the prop abruptly stops and unless
I release the starter, it continues cranking and then repeats this
several times. Then the carbs start to
overflow due to the shaking and the engine appears to be flooded.
I'm concerned that I may have a worn or defective sprag clutch. If
that is the case I'll have to pull the
engine and have it repaired ( big $$$ ). Then, I might as well go
for the heavy duty starter.
Maybe John Mcbean can modify my engine mount, or maybe a Series 7
engine mount might fit.
