SkyTec 55278R STARTER ADAPTER, REBUILT FAA/PMA FOR PN 646220A45

**Sky-Tec starter adapters** are direct-replacement components for selected Continental starter adapter assemblies. They transfer torque from the starter motor to the engine, allowing the engine to crank during the starting sequence. When the starter motor is activated, the starter adapter’s internal coil spring tightens around the drive shaft and transfers rotational force to the engine. Once the engine starts and rotates faster than the starter, the spring releases the shaft, allowing the engine to operate independently of the starter motor. Sky-Tec starter adapters are precision-engineered for specific Continental engine applications and are available in **new or factory-rebuilt configurations**, depending on the part number. A worn or slipping starter adapter may prevent the engine from turning even when the starter motor is operating and should be inspected, overhauled or replaced in accordance with the applicable maintenance documentation. *Images are representative and may not show the exact product for sale.* --- ## Applications - Selected Continental piston engine applications - Direct replacement for applicable Continental starter adapter assemblies - Replacement for worn, damaged or slipping starter adapters - Suitable for aircraft starting-system maintenance and repair - Available in new or factory-rebuilt configurations, depending on the part number --- ## Why CJ Aerospace?
