My understanding is that the "Continental Starter" is actually an ISKRA starter
and that this starter has been causing problems.  Sorry I can't give any more
specific info than that.

I was scheduled to have the ISKRA starter put on my engine but due to the advice
of Tim Ong and Allen Barrett will be using another starter.

I have also heard that Continental has stopped using the ISKRA, but has not
recalled those engines with ISKRAs already installed.
