I stopped by Valeo's Inc. booth and met with the salesmen about the starter
alternator they had mounted on the engine. It looks just like a large
alternator.  The unit was 14v.


Here is a webpage that shows a picture.  The advantage to us pilots of
course is the elimination of the toothed flywheel and starter motor.

I got the sales person's card and he said he would try to find a sales
outlet for us.  He did mention the unit was currently being installed on the
CR-3 Citroen and the Smart

Paul,

No sorry, it doesn't show up on my computer either.  Since that is very
common with my old system I assumed it would work on yours.  Guess not.  The
unit looks just like a large alternator.  Very similar to the size on the
Renesis.  It must be heavier though with the amperages they quote in the
above site.  I assume it must be wound with flat copper wire.

I sent the 16X pictures earlier to you.
