SkyTec Starter -- Working loose

[CharlieWaffles]

I just had my starter replaced due to a snapped bolt in the body. Here are pictures of the new starter bolts - no more bent tabs.

I had to tighten the bolts on my Skytech this afternoon with just over 160 hours, was starting to work loose. I'm well past the warranty since I bought the starter in the middle of my build, looking for a permanent option that does NOT include this through-bolt design.

I would check with them about warranty, it's a known problem that they have dealt fairly with (at least with me ) . Give them a call .

My warranty was also expired when my starter failed for a different reason, but Skytec honored the warranty and sent me a new unit. It only had 150 hours time in service since the first start, and that's what they went by.
