=0AThe heavy duty starter is quoted as being 1" longer than
the original starter, although it looks longer than this; ther
e was an earlier thread on this when the new starter first
appeared, but a search doesn't bring this up.=0AAnyway, the
alternative sold by Silent-Hetik and referenced earlier in the
current thread, is stated as being 15mm longer (and about ha
lf the price).=0AAnyone checked whether the latter would fit w
ith the Classic engine mount? Or care to measure what cleara
nce is available with the original starter?=0A=0ADuncan McF=0A=0A=0A

Roland,=0ARotax 912s with original 912 starter is OK.=0AWhat one
needs is a powerful battery.=0AI had a Panasonic Battery an
d in winter it was no good.=0AIt eventually caused the sprag
clutch to need replacing.=0AI was also going to upgrade to
a more powerful starter.=0ADue to my Classic engine frame I
could not fit the new starter.=0ASo I put the original back
and brought a Lithium IRON battery used in Motorbikes.=0APowerfu

y kick back Problem is typical for a broken (worn out?) sp

n the battery and the starter is far from ideal, so I'll
change it on this occasion as well.=0A=0AThe idea of the hea
vy duty starter arised, because the engine/starter has 650 hrs
now and the engine has to be taken out anyway. Plus the
cables should not be longer than 50 cm, which would be
the case with the new battery position. So just nice to ha
ve, but certainly unnecessary.=0A=0AWhat I've learned by now is,
that several feasible approaches to the problem exist - and
, that I'm not the only one having it :-)=0A=0ASalut=0ARoland
