This was somewhat surprising as I swapped the dreaded Iskra starter for a SkyTec ST5 (12V) before I installed the (new) engine in my Legacy. So, the Iskra never ran on my engine (save the short test cell time). Any tips for the Legacy? I remember seeing something at one time on the LML. But I couldn't find it (and never saved it knowing that I was "safe" from this issue as I never ran the Iskra). I do remember that you do have to pull the engine away from the mounts to access the drive. But, any non obvious tips would be much appreciated. Thanks Clark Baker mobile: +44 7557 804 630
