I appear to have suffered the starter adapter failure on my Legacy (IO550N) at 145hrs TT. 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
