Sky-Tec Starter Adapters

New or factory rebuilt options for Continental engines

Sky-Tec starter adapters connect the aircraft’s starter motor to the engine. The primary function is facilitating the starting process by transferring power from the starter to the engine’s flywheel.

  • Connection: The starter adapter provides a mounting point for the starter motor, ensuring proper alignment with the engine.
  • Engagement: When the starter motor is activated, the starter adapter engages with the flywheel, allowing the motor to crank the engine.
  • Disengagement: Once the engine starts, the starter adapter disengages the starter from the flywheel to prevent damage and allow the engine to run independently.

Core Policy

Any unit being returned for core or warranty core credit shall be, as removed from the engine, complete and not disassembled. No core or warranty core credit will be allowed for automotive units. Units that are rusty or cannot be overhauled for any reason will be classified as scrap, having no value. Units which have been weld-repaired, as well as units which have been disassembled and then reassembled with old parts, will also be classified as scrap, having no value. A percentage of the core value will be charged for all missing or damaged parts. At no time will the damaged or missing parts charge on any unit exceed the core value of that unit.
