I finally got to start my engine today for the first time which was quite motivational. However, after letting it run for a couple minutes and checking it over for leaks I tried to start it again. This time I was greeted by a horrendous squeal and the prop not spinning as fast as before while starting. I shut it all down and it appears the starter is no longer engaging properly. It wore a little of the outside aft edge of the flywheel and looks like either the starter gear is too small, or somehow it suddenly was able to drift a little further from the flywheel and no longer mates up properly. The starter mount nuts look secure and the factory paint cues are still in place so I am stumped. With the starter gear retracted it looks like the gears will just barely overlap when it extends.
I am open to any and all thoughts, theories and suggestions.
Thanks,
Marcus
(was hoping to get inspected today, delayed until next weekend – possibly more pending the engine issue)
