Reviews

My good rating is for Aircraft Spruces service. I dont love this product. The GPL design is prone to failure (this is the third starter Ive purchased in a ~200 hours runtime), and is inferior to the Rotax solutions. But Im kind of stuck with it, unless I want to buy an eBox for big money.

Everything about it is working perfectly so far. The one thing that kept it from getting 5 stars is that while it says it is an exact replacement, the unit is longer than the original and the positive terminal is on the end instead of the side. This caused me to re-route the cable from the starting relay to the motor so it would reach.
