A. Description
The Sky-Tec 149-NL high-performance starters have significant differences from the earlier starters
made by Kelly Aerospace, Electrosystems, and Prestolite. The Sky-Tec starters use a more
moder n, more reliable, bendix-free, design. No periodic maintenance is required. The
recommended TBO is 2700 hours. Engine cranking speed may be up to twice as fast as with
previous starters. The light weight of these starters does, however, provide less mass to extract heat
from starter components. Accordingly, strict adherance to cranking limitations, below, is essential to
prevent overheating.
