I need help with my starter on my Kitfox 2..I may have to take it out to
repair it..what do I need to do to get it out?is there a easy way of
getting it out with out taking the engine out too?? I have the 582 rotax
engine in it..I have now tested the starter as yet..all I hear is a
clicking from the solenoid.battery is good.I have not checked the ground
as yet.. Thanks Steve Shinabery N554KF, KF2, with 582 rotax...Home of
the 2009 Great Lakes Kitfox Fly In.

I have heard of one guy who made his engine mount so it can be opened like a
door to get at the back of the engine. He had a Merlin GT, not a Kitfox.
The trouble with the installation of the starter on the 582 is it has to
have some space for the starter to ride in the mounts. Too tight and the
starter won't work, too loose and I guess it will fall off.

Certainly check that you have good strong grounds between the battery and
the engine itself.. Heavy braids should jump across the nice insulating
Lord mounts. Make sure where the braids are mounted are clean and shiny on
both ends.
