I would send it to them. Rhonda Barrett-Bewley Barrett Precision Engines 2870-B N. Sheridan Rd.

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.

The noise seems to quite as soon as the engine starts (a little hard to tell over the noise of the engine). Looking at the flywheel and bendix gear I expected to see a storage wear pattern, and there is a slight one but 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. > > Any thoughts on what the culprit might be? > > Thanks, > Marcus > > ----- No virus found in this message.

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

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.
