I have a TCM 655551 starter, it’s a geared lightweight starter on a continental O-200 A82
It’s leaking oil out of a weep hole on the bottom.
There are no parts diagrams, and TCM doesn’t support it.
It looks like a knockoff of a B&C
I’m pretty sure it’s an oil seal at the front gear that needs to be replaced.
Any one have any experience with these starters and can suggest a place to obtain a seal?
I’ve called starter rebuilders, TCM, and B&C, no luck.
I know I can buy a new starter for $600, but it seems like a bad solution to a
$10.00 seal.
Any suggestions appreciated.
