Product Description

The 23046-1661 is a starter adapter that transmits torque from the electric starter motor to the aircraft engine crankshaft. It features a spring-clutch drive mechanism that engages during engine cranking and automatically disengages once the engine starts, preventing starter damage from backdriving. Installed between the starter motor and accessory drive on piston engines, this adapter handles the critical transition from starter engagement to freewheeling operation.

Installation follows the engine manufacturer's maintenance manual and FAA Part 43–approved procedures. Proper maintenance ensures reliable cold-weather starts and protects the starter system.

Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
