I don't recommend that model. It may or may not clear baffling because the solenoid is mounted on the side. Either the Skytec Nline starter or the Hartzell E Drive starter are better choices, with lower current draw, more ability to overcome torque to get piston over top of compression stroke.

If I remember correctly, early last year this list carried a discussion regarding Lycoming raising prices of kits to the level that Aerosport and others stopped building new engines. Thus it looks like that option is off the table. Aerosport has a great reputation among the members of my local EAA chapter. That is where I was going in about a year, but now I have to rethink my options.
