I wonder if anyone can help with a quick query. Hoping to avoid taking cowlings off to answer this one....
RV7A flying....I have an O-360 which is fitted with the lightweight SkyTec starter motor. I am dealing with an aft CG issue and looking at pulling it forward, but not about to invest in a CS prop. Currently I have the Sensenich FP prop fitted.
Can anyone tell me if it is a straight swap in/out to do the change from the SkyTec to an older Prestolite MZ4222 starter? I see on the Lycoming parts list they mention/show a LW12083 switch alongside the Lycoming starter motor LW15571/MZ4222.
Are there any wiring changes I need to make as I am hoping this is a temporary solution to the problem with a CS prop coming in the future, in which case trhe SkyTec will go back on. Is the solenoid part of the Prestolite starter?
