Quality Aircraft Accessories in Tulsa can now overhaul Skytec starters.
I would send it to them.

Probably a bearing going bad in the starter. Don't know what their
current charge is, but was around $150 last time I needed it, and they
shipped it out repaired the same day they received it.

not really the indication I expected if it wasn't fully engaging. It
runs great off the engine and the bendix seems to fully extend, but I
know a starter can give a false sense of security when it isn't under
any load.

Thank you,
Just curious though, would it be better to send it to Quality Aircraft Accessories
than right to Skytec?

Yes, they are the designated repair location for Skytec.

Thanks again. Skytec says to send it to them, I'm just curious what the advantage
would be to sending it to Quality?

Thanks again to Rhonda for helping out with info on Quality Aircraft Accessories.
Just to pass on some details, I called them and it turns out they don't do
repairs but stock rebuilt units for a quick turn. Only Sky-Tec can work on
the starters. $388 including a $100 core charge (I presume that leaves $288 as
that is also what Sky-Tec charges for a rebuild). 30 Days to return your core
for the refund. Might be a good place to go if you are scrambling for a starter
and Sky-Tec is out of stock.
