I don't remember the manufacture of the starter (I'll go look at it later today for you). It came from the Niagra guys or they recommended a shop, I don't remember.

My starter is a beast, it is very heavy, but at least I've reduce the chances of buying a new starter adapter in short order...(at least I hope). > > Kevin > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Lancair Mailing List [mailto:lml@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of paul miller > Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2011 8:23 AM > To: lml@lancaironline.net > Subject: [LML] Iskra starter 530 hours > > I think I've just experienced the iskra failure, slippage recently during starts and now failure to turn over the io550 this morning.
