Full Replacement Offered If Starter Does Not Make 5 Year TBO

The PowerFlite line of heavy duty starter motors from Tempest is now  covered by a 5 year TBO warranty, the company announced Wednesday.

The Tempest PowerFlite series of aviation engine starters represents a new state-of-the-art energy efficient design providing reduced current draw and long life.  The PowerFlite starter mounts directly to existing TCM engines and is available in both 12 and 24 volt configurations.

"After many hours and cycles of actual field service, in one of the most challenging environments, we experienced no failures of our starter motor," said John Herman, Tempest Vice President of Sales and Marketing.  "The quality of this product allows us to give our customers what they have been asking for in a starter motor - confidence." 

Tempest says it has always backed its products with the best warranty in the industry and now the starter is no exception. "We are proud to announce our new 5 year TBO warranty for the PowerFlite product line.  If a customer experiences a defect in material or workmanship within this period, we will replace the starter," Herman said. 

The Tempest PowerFlite design features include:

• 20% less current draw than competitive starters.
• Aerospace quality brushes for longer life.
• New field wound electric motor design with optimized magnetics.
• Ball bearing design resulting in low internal friction and heat.
• No internal clutches or planetary gears.

Tempest starter part numbers PL13459 (12v) and PL13484 (24v) are eligible on TCM engine models O-300-D, GO-300-D, IO-346, IO-360, L/TSIO-360, O-470, IO-470, TSIO-470, IO-520, TSIO-520, GTSIO-520, IO-550, TSIO-550 and L/TSIO-550.
