Thr LS-16 is a lubeless gas sealed starter that uses many parts found in the larger LS 23/24 and uses a SAE 1 or SAE 3 flange. Spacers are available to modify the SAE 1 flange to fit several different flange to ring gear configurations
The LS-16’s heavy duty spring drive uses a pinion and barrel that is available in several three Mod. configurations that are required for several engines in this size range.
A 7 blade rotor is used that produces more torque than many non gear reduction starters in this class.
The LS-16 will start engines in the 400 to 500 CID range; 500 CID/ 8.2 liters diesel and 1000 CID/ 16.4 liters carbureted.
