Alangj Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 Does anybody know of an A&P in the Eugene, Ore area that can replace our M20J starter motor? My partner is stranded at Cottage Grove (61S) unable to get the plane back to SQL.
Austintatious Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) No one brave enough to hand prop it ? Jokes aside, is he not capable of doing that himself? I just watched it done and it looked like a pretty straight forward change ( on a TSIO520) Edited July 20, 2019 by Austintatious
Alangj Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Posted July 20, 2019 Not yet. Still looking. My partner is not mechanically inclined and she’s up there on business, so not much leisure time.

Alangj Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Posted July 20, 2019 Advanced didn’t have the part, plus they’re 2 hrs away by car. Western Oregon Flying Services, in Roseberg, not only has the part, but they’re will to fly down to Cottage Grove and do the install! Super nice!
carusoam Posted July 21, 2019 Report Posted July 21, 2019 Alan, Consider editing your title... Just a bit... A few thousand MSers will see that and some may think you are in serious need... AOG is an appropriate term if you are stuck on the ground and need some help to get going again... What part do you need? Or do you need a whole starter? What starter do you have? What starter do you want? What’s your next steps? Best regards, -a-
MB65E Posted July 21, 2019 Report Posted July 21, 2019 A Good friend of mine ,Tony , at Speciality Aero might be able to help. He can also build you the finest Pitts Special you’ll ever see!! Look him up. ;-) -Matt
carusoam Posted July 21, 2019 Report Posted July 21, 2019 Matt, Were gonna need some pics to support your recommendation... (of the Pitts of course!) Best regards, -a-
Alangj Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Posted July 21, 2019 Thanks everyone. Sorry about the dramatic title. We got it covered. JD from Western Oregon Flying Services just happened to have the correct Sky-Tec starter and flew down from Rosenberg to Cottage Grove and installed it today (Saturday). Absolutely incredible customer service! 1
Yetti Posted July 21, 2019 Report Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) What another skytec failing? I wish I knew how many B&C Starters were installed in the fleet. You never hear about them. Edited July 21, 2019 by Yetti 1
ArtVandelay Posted July 21, 2019 Report Posted July 21, 2019 What another skytec failing? I wish I knew how many B&C Starters were installed in the fleet. You never hear about them. I replaced my failing BC with a Skytech a few years ago.Tom
Alangj Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Posted July 21, 2019 Nope. Replaced a failed Bendix, which failed at worst possible time (plane at small airfield, without MX or FBO). Now has a new Sky-Tec. Works fine. 2
cliffy Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 Things never fail at a mega size airport do they? :-)
