Karl,

Sounds like you might have a flat or faulty battery to me.  Have you 
tested the battery under load?

  Subject: Europa-List: Engine not turning over


  Hi,


  I found myself stranded with an engine that would not start. There was 
only a click from the relay, but no movement up front. I got the 
aircraft home on my trailer, it was to be my last flight this season 
anyway.
  I assume it is a broken sprag clutch. Has anyone got experience in 
that area ? My question is: does it require removal of the engine ?
  I removed the starter motor and it checks out okay. Hand turning the 
prop is also no problem.


  Appreciate any advice.


  Karl
