So far it’s working as planned. I also replaced my battery with EarthX the engine turns over much faster.

This was a simple drop-in install on my 74 A185F. Comes with wiring diagram. Looks like quality construction and works as advertised for my 12V system. Hope it lasts the coming 49 years, like the original.

Q: What is the total current draw of the solenoid when actuated?

The total current draw is 0.8 amps.

Q: What is the difference between STec-A12 and STec-M12 relays?

The STS-M12 is for the battery master. The STS-a12 is for Auxiliary master, like a GPU.

Q: What size are the power and coil terminals? Also what is the recommended mounting orientation? I note that the 11-03161 (White-Rogers) unit recommends Cap Down orientation.

The coil terminals are #10's and the power terminals are 5/16ths. It is recommended to mount per the airframe specifications. If none, it is recommended to mount with the cap up.

Q: Does this Lamar solenoid include the diode? If not do I need it and what part number would it be?

Per Vendor: This product does not include the diode. You do not need the diode for the part to work correctly, it is simply a safety precaution some like to take. The airframe manufacturer might have a diode they recommend.

Q: What is the warranty for this unit?

12 mo from date of installation of product or 500 hrs - whichever comes first. Log books are required for warranty

Q: Does this come with diode?

No, this does not come with a diode. Part # 07-26823 is the diode and it is sold separately.
