I installed my Skytec starter 10 years ago. About 2 years ago it started not fully engaging the teeth of the starter on the fly wheel. I called them for a replacement and when they heard my model number, they said it was not really designed that good and offered me a correct one that had been rebuilt for $200. Installed it and works good. Check to see if you got the same problem.

had the same problem a number of times in my 201 about 25 years ago. Finally went out and bought jumper cables and kept them in the plane ever since and did need them a number of times. I finally figured out the solution about 5 years ago. The power for the lights come from the dash board and feed both the front and rear overhead lights. I mounted a simple toggle on/off switch just over the pilots head along side the front light switch. With it in the up position, the light will work, and in the down position none of them can work. And I keep the switch in the down position unless I want the lights to able to light up. Haven't had a problem since.
