Re: Europa-List: 912S - starting problems

[J. R. Jones <jronjones@lineone.net>]

David,
I suggest you speak to David Bowie who has had this problem for some time.
He recently tried a new "heavy duty" starter (suggested by Nigel B - which
wouldn't fit ! )and ended up with the engine out. I understand that a new
"sprag-clutch" has been fitted to the original starter and he also found the
"trigger" gap on one of the mags was far too close. He now appears to have
no problems.
David's 912S has something like 500+ hours on the clock.
Regards,
Ron Jones.
PS. How's your VOR?
