I have had my Sullivan starter now for twenty years and it has never been repaired or taken apart. Does that tell you something?

Get rid of the cables tying you to the flight box battery and buy the Sullivan battery pack and case. It fits right to the starter and has 12 cells 14.4v. and is rechargeable. There is more than enough power to start most engines. Most of the Pylon Racing fraternity use this type of set-up.
