Parker_Woodruff Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Well 50 trouble free hours was too good to be true. The last two starts I've had: 1) First attempt starter spins 2) Second attempt Starter reluctant to disengage after I change from "Start" to "Both" Given both of those symptoms happening, is there any chance this is just a bad relay or a bad switch, or am I looking at needing a new starter. Or maybe I'm really lucky and it's a bad battery? I've got the 14V electrical system on my M20J. Thanks! Quote
N207LS Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I had what sounds like the same problem. Sorry to say it was the starter. Just went through this about 6 months ago. Aaron Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 It does have the lightweight starter. Quote
GeorgePerry Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I have my old bendix that's in good working order if anyone is interested...make me an offer Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 CAn anybody tell me what the heck happened to my post 2 slots above!? I have the light weight starter was my intended response. EDIT: Now the post appears correctly. It was talking about Rolls Royce engines being too heavy for helicopters which is nothing close to what I wrote! No clue how that happened. Quote
