I have an RV7 with a circa 2016/2017 vans exhaust/heat muff. The muff is the type that clamps over both crossover pipes in front of the sump. I have the garbage Skytec lightweight starter that will only start the engine if it/the battery is warm and the battery is fully charged. Preheat or summer and flew in the last few days? No problem. I understand all the starter circuit testing etc. I want a starter that requires less amperage than a permanent magnet direct drive starter.
Does anyone have any starter besides a Skytec LS mounted on a vertical induction o-360 with the van's heat muff? How/what did you modify to gain clearance for a different starter or is there a starter that fits with the van's heat muff? A B&C definitely will not fit.
