Sorry to hear it.

I had the same problem with a Lamar Starter at about 150 hrs.

The 10:1 compression may be a contributing factor.

Subject: [LML] Continental starter adapter failure- Legacy

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
