I’m looking for an electric starter for a Kinner radial engine. Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.

An E-80 will work if there’s enough room between the engine and firewall (I think there are 2 or 3 versions though, and only one that works), otherwise you will need the 90 degree Y-150 starter. And your engine must have the starter adapter on it. There are two types of adapter, long and short, and I believe they require a seperate oil feed line for lubrication. Al Ball in California is the US guru for Kinners, 805-525-9464, unfortunately he doesn’t do e-mail.
What kind of aircraft?

I wish you luck in your search. Rocking horse manure and all that.
