<<With only about 30 hours on my IO 550 G in my IV I'm having a problem with 
the starter spring "grabbing"  the shaft and cranking the engine>>

TCM had a change to the starter spring while I was working for them, and the 
issue was to "fix" slipping.  I take it from your post that the starter is 
slipping ??  If so the only cure I'm aware of is to replace the unit if it is 
under warranty, or send it off to be O/hauled with the correct spring and 
shaft.  As I remember (CRS) , the shaft cannot be undercut to fit the new 
"tighter fitting" spring.  For those that pull the engine through and hear or 
feel the starter dragging, this is normal for the newer style adapter.
Best to contact your local TCM Rep and discuss the problem with them, they 
have a little more lattitude to fix things out of warranty than the 
distributors of field mechanics.
