Gents,
Just wondering if anyone has upgraded their 149-12LS Skytec starter with the Skytec 149-NL on the horizontal intake IO-360-M1B engine?
I have the horizontal intake with air inlet snorkel moulded around the 149-12LS. This starter doesn't have any shear pin protection for kick back and looks like at some stage this has occurred with my engine. I now have a hairline crack in the forward housing on the starter. The 'NL' type has the shear pin setup and I am looking to install this type if there are no-minimal modifications to be made to the intake snorkel.
So anyone that has upgraded to the NL starter from the LS type on their IO360-M1B engine I would love to hear from you and what you discovered in terms of installation issues.
Sincerely,
