Scott,

Thanks for the info – one = thing I learned almost a lifetime ago was that God is not an Anglo-Celtic = Catholic – as the sharing of the grey (gray) matter has not been equally = distributed.

So transposing all the info into = simpleton’s terms takes awhile.

Anyway you’re gonna love = this – I have been doing some work on Lancair stuff, and last Friday the = starter relay died. Replaced it with an identical starter relay, and did a dry crank = only to find the Bendix did not retract from the ring gear.

Of course, I had the usual = entourage of admirers hanging around, all giving me their pearls of = wisdom.

But all including me came to the = ultimate conclusion that there was nothing for it but to remove the starter and = take it to an auto electrician.

Late in the day, I thought I best = plan for a replacement, so sent the LML email which you saw, and also rang the = outfit which did the bulk engine strip in March, basically to see if a = replacement starter was available here.

Having told him what happened, he = said: “Of course you realize the Bendix doesn’t retract from the ring gear = until the engine starts????!!!!!”.

Oh MERDE!

Recovered starter from Auto = electrician – replaced, used a litre of WD40, and bingo.

Yes, I can here you all laughing = here – but what a learning curve.

Cheers

Dom
