Sky-Tec 149-NL/ec 24v Extended Cranking NL SuperDuty Starter for Textron Lycoming Engines (FAA-PMA Approved)

The NL/ec* series starters are available for nearly all 24v aircraft applications including 149-tooth (149-NL/ec*), 122-tooth (122-NL/ec*) and counter-rotating (149-NLR/ec*) applications.

The new /ec* series starters are specifically engineered for harsh 24v applications. Specific applications include 24v workhorse aircraft such as Twin Commanders and Piper Navajo Chieftain PA-32 aircraft. The /ec* series features *Extended Cranking abilities that will allow your workhorse aircraft pilots to crank the starters to rediculous limits.

Flight schools using 24v Lycoming powered aircraft may also find benefit in the additional cranking durability of the /ec* series starters.

The only compromise on the 24v /ec* starters is cranking speed. While still enormously faster than heavyweight OEM starters, the /ec* series starters will crank moderately slower than their non /ec* counterpart models.

Sky-Tec's original High Torque HT Model starters are also available in /ec* configuration for 24v applications. In fact, we expect to move all 149-24HT starters users to 149-24HT/ec* exclusively over time. Ask me if you're interested in arranging a trade-up or upgrade for your fleet.
