[f-AA] A65-12

[Paul M. Anton]

I learned something new today. I did not know an A-65-12 existed until I saw one today. An A-65 with starter and electrical system.

I think what you saw was a -9          -------Original Message-------

I have seen the occasional Mooney Mite ad that list an A65-12.  They say they have a starter.

FWIW-

This is from the Bowers Fly Baby website where one can find Harry Fenton's excellent accumulation of info on small Continental engines:

Starters and Small Continental Engines

The A-65-9 is the only A-65 configured to accept a starter and very few were made.  As such, certain unique parts are very difficult to find and parts for the Eclipse starter are as scarce as dinosaur DNA.  The -9 accessory case is unique and different than later -12, -14 cases equipped with starters, but relatively available because most -9 engines were converted to -8 configuration.  The C-75-12 through the O-200 use the same accessory case and engine accessories and may more parts are available to support these engines.  A major headache with the -9 is magnetos as the only type approved are the very heavy (8lbs each!) Bendix SF4 non-impulse magnetos.  There are no Slick magnetos approved to fit the -9 engine.  By the time all is said and done with the weight of the -9, it is marginally lighter than a C-85-12 with lightened modern accessories.

The engine I observed was on a Mooney Mite

TCDS 205 lists both A-65-12 and -14 engines.  The -12 is 65 h.p. @ 2300 rpm.  The -14 is 75 h.p. for 5 minutes @ 2675 and full throttle.  I saw the one on Barnstormers advertised with a Continental A-65-12 engine.

My E key didn’t work, but since it is an engine TCDS, you are correct, Cy.
