What do you think about what they told him? Ned FWIW, the ElectroAir installation instructions recommends against any permanent magnet light weight starter and specifies the SkyTek as incompatible with starting with their electronic ignition energized because of the high current draw. The later version is OK but I have the PM version. I just don't get to start with the electronic ignition energized. I kept the impulse mag so starts are just like always on the Left mag and turn on the electronic after startup. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:23:58 PM PST US From: Gary Vogt Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Incompatibility of Skytec PM with ElectroAir There is a clever saying about telling someone not to do something that can 't be done while he's doing it, but it slips my mind. -=0A=0ALet's ask De an and Larry what they think. -They both have light weight starters, one 24 volt, one 12 volt. -I installed them both.-=0A=0AUnless the battery is dead or near dead, I can't think of a reason to worry about it. -Come to think of it, if the battery is low and the ElectroAir is not putting out enough juice, the plane will still start just fine on the left mag if the engine cranks. -=0A=0AGary=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0A Fr om: "923te@att.net" <923te@att.net>=0ATo: "teamgrumman-list@matronics.com" =0ASent: Friday, December 21, 2012 6:45 PM =0ASubject: TeamGrumman-List: Incompatibility of Skytec PM with ElectroAir his was posted on the other list by a fellow Tiger owner.

I also have the Bogert cables so that helps with less voltage drop. I don't really understand why that instruction is there.

Let's ask Dean and Larry what they think. They both have light weight starters, one 24 volt, one 12 volt. I installed them both. Unless the battery is dead or near dead, I can't think of a reason to worry about it. Come to think of it, if the battery is low and the ElectroAir is not putting out enough juice, the plane will still start just fine on the left mag if the engine cranks.
